Abstract

Abstract The future viability of inland navigation is closely linked to the automation of inland vessels. This will make their use more attractive and efficient. Potential solutions for automation in the scope of this paper include remotely controlled inland vessels that do not require a boatmaster to be on board but are controlled from shore. The implementation of such new technologies involves unknown risks. It is therefore necessary to assess the safety and classify the risks associated with inland vessels of varying degrees of automation. To identify these risks, a Hazard Identification (HAZID) study has been conducted. The outcomes of the study may serve as a basis for adapting regulations and introducing novel technologies, which would facilitate increased automation of inland navigation
