Autonomous ships without crew

Razvoj i rast tehnologije i računalne tehnologije omogućilo je transport i upravljanje objektima putem računala. Uvođenje potpuno automatiziranih sustava na brodovima je bila glavna tema za velike brodarske tvrtke diljem svijeta posljednjih godina. Osnovni uzrok tome su napori da se smanji ljudska pogreška u vožnji i upravljanja sustavima, smanjenje troškova broda i posade te sigurnost na moru. Brodarska industrija doživljava brz rast i razvoj, uvođenjem naprednih informatičkih sustava što smanjuje potrebu za velikim posadama. Brod bez posade otvara uzbudljivu mogućnost rekonstrukcije načina na koji su brodovi građeni i projektirani te načina na koji se njime upravlja. Mnoga ograničenja uklonjena su na brodu kada se na njemu ne nalaze ljudi, od kojih je najvažnije uklanjanje paluba i prostora na palubi, na kojoj borave ljudi, što će uvelike uštedjeti troškove izgradnje, težinu i prostor, te omogućiti prijevoz veće količine tereta. Brod opremljen sustavima koji služe samo posadi, te uklanjanjem tih sustava će se ujedno pojednostaviti i poboljšati pouzdanost i produktivnost uz smanjenje troškova izgradnje i rada. Međutim, potrebno je osigurati dostatnu komunikaciju s kopnom i uspostaviti sustave kojima ljudi mogu sigurno upravljati na kratkim i većim udaljenostima.The development and growth of technology and computer technology has enabled the transportation and management of facilities via computers. The introduction of fully automated systems on ships has been a major topic for large companies around the world in recent years. The main reasons for this are efforts to reduce human error in driving and operating aircraft systems, reducing costs and crew, and safety at sea. The shipping industry is experiencing rapid growth and development, with the introduction of advanced systems and computer maintenance capabilities which reduces the need for large crews. An unmanned ship opens up an exciting opportunity to reconstruct the way ships are built and designed, the way it is operated. Many restrictions are removed on board when there are no people on board, the most important of which is the removal of decks and deck space where people are staying, which will greatly save construction costs, weight and space, and the ability of ships to carry more cargo. The ship contains systems that serve only the crew, and the removal of these systems will also simplify and improve reliability and productivity while reducing construction and operating costs. However, it is necessary to ensure sufficient communication with the mainland and to establish systems and networks through which people can safely navigate at short and long distances
