Are autonomous ships and vehicles ‘unmanned’ or ‘uncrewed’?

Research output: Practice-Based and Non-textual ResearchWeb publication/site

Abstract

Like “self-driving” cars, autonomous ships are a reality and will likely revolutionize many aspects of shipping and maritime security.

With up to 95% of maritime accidents due to human error, autonomous vessels offer the tantalizing possibility of greatly reduced risk to ship owners, as well as significant cost efficiencies from reduced wage costs, estimated at 30%, and greater fuel efficiency.
