A broad ranging discussion on recent innovations in collision-based liability to autonomous vessel shipowners of remote controlled vessels and over semi-autonomous vessels. First of all, the presentation will discuss the recent technological developments by NYK Line, Japan’s biggest shipping company. Second, this presentation considers the detailed guidelines for autonomous vessels in Japan. The Japanese Govt has established two Frameworks for autonomous vessels, namely, the 'Safety Guidelines for Remotely Controlled Small Vessels' and the 'Safety Guidelines for Autonomous Vessels'. The presentation is done under the current Japanese law that liability will be attached to the ship owner of the autonomous vessel(s) in the event of an actual collision.
