Abstract

Abstract Demonstrations and local tests of several maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS) have recently been carried out. From a technological standpoint, MASS are becoming able to handle actual operations in certain sea areas. Since 2017, the MSC (Maritime Safety Committee) of the IMO (International Maritime Organization) has been discussing legal problems with the Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs) with regard to MASS operation. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the rules from the perspective of seafarers, who need to interpret COLREGs when dealing with MASS in ship handling situations on the sea, and also to discuss possible required amendments to COLREGs. This paper attempts to clarify the extent of current interpretations while also taking into account the answers to questionnaires received from 130 pilots, ship captains and navigation officers concerning COLREGs for MASS operation. Given the four common principles of COLREGs, it is considered whether the principles need to be changed with the introduction of MASS from the viewpoint of seafarers.

从海员的角度来看，操作海上自主水面船舶所需的规则

摘要:最近进行了几艘海上自主水面舰艇(MASS)的演示和局部测试。从技术的角度来看，MASS正在变得能够处理某些海域的实际行动。自2017年以来，国际海事组织(IMO)海上安全委员会(MSC)一直在讨论《海上避碰规则》(COLREGs)关于MASS操作的法律问题。本文的目的是从海员的角度来阐明规则，海员在海上船舶处理MASS时需要对COLREGs进行解释，并讨论可能需要对COLREGs进行的修改。本文试图澄清当前解释的程度，同时也考虑到从130名飞行员，船长和航海官收到的关于MASS操作COLREGs的问卷的答案。鉴于COLREGs的四项共同原则，从海员的角度考虑是否需要随着MASS的引入而改变这些原则。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Navigation contains original papers on the science of navigation by man and animals over land and sea and through air and space, including a selection of papers presented at meetings of the Institute and other organisations associated with navigation. Papers cover every aspect of navigation, from the highly technical to the descriptive and historical. Subjects include electronics, astronomy, mathematics, cartography, command and control, psychology and zoology, operational research, risk analysis, theoretical physics, operation in hostile environments, instrumentation, ergonomics, financial planning and law. The journal also publishes selected papers and reports from the Institute’s special interest groups. Contributions come from all parts of the world.
