| 摘要： | As an international organization that has supported the implementation of maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS) since 2016, One Sea is at the heart of discussions around this topic. Responses to MASS tend to be strong, with one side championing the benefits and the other expressing concern and a lack of confidence in such technologies. However, MASS will not appear unexpectedly to replace crewed vessels. For a future shipping industry featuring high levels of automation and autonomy, any preparatory work should consider that for the foreseeable future, ships with varying degrees of autonomy will coexist. Ports will therefore need to consider having the capacity to receive both highly advanced, self-navigating vessels alongside conventional ships. According to UN statistics, 4.5 million port calls took place in 2022, and each of these port visits represented an important action, an exchange of goods, passengers and data. However, ever-increasing growth in international trading is driving the need to harness technology to improve the efficiency of shipping. Conventional methods no longer provide the necessary gains and in some cases, doing more of the same simply leads to inefficiencies, delays and environmental issues. |
