Autonomous technology is advancing in every sector, and the
maritime industry is among those at the forefront.
Much of the focus in shipping has been on using autonomous
technology on commercial vessels and perfecting remote navigational
systems for ocean carriage. There have, however, been several
recent advancements in further automating the industry as a whole.
These advancements include automated container operations,
autonomous technology for inland routes and the creation of
standard contracts for autonomous vessels. In this edition of The
Sensor, we review the potential of these latest developments and
the hurdles that still need to be overcome.
