The Chat-GPT provided by a company called OpenAI in the United States has led to the use of artificial intelligence in real life. The core of the fourth industrial revolution in the shipping industry os represented by autonomous navigation vessels. Although we could not imagine a ship that was not piloted earlier, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is on the verge of launching autonomous vessels by artificial intelligence.
A fully autonomous navigation vessel is a vessel operated by an autonomous navigation system based on artificial intelligence, not human navigation. In IMO, autonomous navigation vessels are defined as MASS, and they are divided into four stages, from the first stage corresponding to an automated vessel to the second and third stages operated by humans on land and the fourth stage operated by a fully autonomous navigation system. The four stage of MASS are divided according to whether humans intervene in the operation of the ship, how they intervene, and the degree of intervention. Therefore, in the maritime law, regulations and provisions that are directly related to the management and navigation of ships and the negligence of the navigator will be influenced analytically and legislatively by the introduction of autonomous navigation vessels.
If we look at the issues in the maritime law related to autonomous navigation vessels focusing on the autonomous stage of ship operation, it is necessary to review the interpretation and legislative review of these regulations in detail because the restrictions on the liability of ship owners, the obligation of the carrier to navigate in the transportation of goods, the liability of the carrier for damages, joint sea damage, ship collision, It is necessary.
