Market Insights

According to the U.S. Coast Guard, 96% of all marine casualty occur due to human errors such as negligence and laxity in assigned duties. The aforementioned factor is quite serious and hence has given rise to the thought of autonomous ships. Autonomous ships are state-of-the-art maritime transport developed to meet competitiveness, safety and sustainability challenges of marine transportation. Autonomous ships are capable of addressing issues related to marine transportation such as human errors, casualty losses, adverse weather conditions and criminal activities. In addition, autonomous ships offer a variety of other merits such as efficient use of space in ship design, better fuel efficiency and reduction in transportation time. Autonomous ship are expected to change the marine transportation by improved optimization of operations and effective resource management.

Autonomous ships are believed to bring technological revolution in the marine industry. The concept of autonomous ships has gained prominence on account of several concerns arising from human operated ships. Human error accounts for more than 70% of the total vessel accidents caused worldwide. Thus, with a view of eliminating losses occurring due to human errors, autonomous ships are estimated to gain profound attention in the following years. Furthermore, maritime patrolling is one of the most crucial operations carried out by the naval forces across the world. With the advent of unmanned surface vessels, governments are now emphasizing on procuring such autonomous ships for defense-related applications. In the current market scenario, the use of autonomous ships has been majorly limited to applications in defense and security. However, the recent trend shows manufacturers, researchers, shipbuilding firms, and technology companies all working in unison to develop first of its kind a semi- and fully autonomous cargo ship using artificial intelligence and analytics. Companies including Yara International and Kongsberg Gruppen are the early entrants in this business segment and are seeking to gain first movers advantage. The overall demand for autonomous ships is estimated to be remarkably driven by the steadily rising expenditure over unmanned systems.
