Abstract

The operation of unmanned/autonomous merchant ships in the shipping industry will be evolutionary, but every new development unavoidably brings along with it new risks.

It concludes that although no significant legal barrier can be identified, certain non-marine insurances seem necessary to fill in the gaps for insurance cover for unmanned/autonomous merchant ships.
