Assessing ship risk model applicability to Marine Autonomous Surface Ships [PDF]
Ocean Engineering, 2018 Abstract Marine Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) are tested in public waters. A requirement for MASS to be operated is that they should be at least as safe as conventional ships. Hence, this paper investigates how far the current ship risk models for ship-ship collision, ship-structure collision, and groundings are applicable for risk assessment of ...
