After World War II, the very nature of Shipping, as well as the desire to create accepted Rules at a global level, enforced legislative regulations to homogenize the sector. Thus, today Shipping operations are based on the legal framework formed by the International Conventions institutionalized by the International Maritime Organization and the applicable National legal regimes that regulates the various issues at the national level.
Additionally, in recent years, the rapid and continuous development of Technology, as well as the need to save resources (energy, financial, human) have created a new reality in Shipping, where autonomous and unmanned ships have made their appearance. This form of shipping seems that in the future will dominate over the conventional shipping.
This Diplomatic Thesis, through the review of scientific articles, the study of International Law and the analysis of legal data, aims to investigate whether autonomous and unmanned ships can fall under the already existing legal regime of International and Greek Law. Here we must point out that this particular study does not refer to the entire variety and kind of ships but focuses only on commercial ships.
The literature review found that legislative reforms could enable a smooth transition to the next generation of ships, autonomous and unmanned.
