Sažetak
Digitalization, artificial intelligence, and awareness of climate change are the driving forces behind the rapid development of the transportation industry. The maritime sector is exploring the applicability of alternative powering options and ways to implement new technologies to increase safety and efficiency, to meet the regulations set by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and growth of the seaborne trade. Autonomous shipping is recognized by IMO as a path towards the implementation of new technologies with benefits in terms of safety, costs, and environmental impact. Autonomous shipping aims to operate commercially with a promise of safe, smart, green, and sustainable shipping of the future, while similarly eliminating negative externalities from shipping (noise, pollution, oil spills, congestion in ports, etc.). Based on the literature review, a research gap related to design requirements for power systems of autonomous ships is identified. Although the literature indicates that autonomous vessels are expected to be as safe as the conventional ones, it is obvious that absence of crew leads to savings in operative costs, but at the same time it significantly reduces possibility for corrective maintenance during the voyage. Therefore, it is necessary to analyse key activities of the crew related to the operation of ship power system and to define effect of lack of crew on the safety level. The aim of this paper is to analyse differences between power systems of conventional and autonomous ships and their role in the safety assessment, as well as to provide a set of solutions for successful transition from manned to unmanned ship power system.
