Abstract

Not many years ago and parallel to mobile telephony or automotive, autonomous or smart ships were introduced. In 2018, the first international conference on this type of sustainability vessel was held, and the most relevant current investigations have been disseminated. However, the first thing that should addressed is how are autonomous and intelligent vessels defined. In this context, the first question to be answered is: ‘Is an autonomous vessel synonymous from an intelligent sustainability vessel?’ Once clarified, the next challenge will be to know if this type of vessel is able to move its current crew to land, so that they direct the autonomous vessels remotely, from land stations; and to know the necessary studies in sustainability matters for the new crew.
