Tiivistelmä
To facilitate the implementation of autonomous vessel operations and realize the potential benefits of such technologies within the international shipping environment, the necessary communication facilities and regulatory standards must be in place.
This work contributes by providing a realistic assessment of these challenges. Through extensive research, the existing systems which autonomous/remotely operated vessels will likely have to comply and interact with have been identified. In addition, the potential communication capacity demand and availability have been reviewed.
The necessary forums to propose necessary regulatory changes have been identified. This research has been greatly supported through the input from international maritime experts who provided detailed responses to an in-depth questionnaire on these subjects. This work makes a novel contribution in furthering the understanding of the communication regulatory challenges which must be addressed to facilitate the implementation of autonomous vessel operations. The responses provided by expert survey participants within this work, provides a unique understanding and assessment of the regulatory obstacles and potential timescales facing the implementation of autonomous/remotely monitored vessels.
