Sažetak
The use of autonomous ships undoubtedly poses a major challenge for all participants in maritime transport. Therefore, in order for the revolution of autonomous ships to become a reality for large numbers of shippers in both international and national transport, it is necessary to adjust legal regulations to the use of autonomous ships. When speaking of the legal aspects of the use of autonomous ships, we are referring to international conventions and national laws of states that would allow the safe use of such ships. Maritime navigation is legally "covered" by international and national legal sources, therefore, efforts are needed to develop and harmonise the legal regulations concerning the use of autonomous ships at all regulatory levels. In this paper we will demonstrate the scope of international and national legal regulations concerning the use of autonomous ships in order to determine what has been done so far towards the goal of ensuring their unimpeded use. First, we will provide an overview of the results of the research projects MUNIN and AAWA which are among the biggest drivers of the development of autonomous ships. We will present the results of the deliberations of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), in particular the Maritime Safety Committee, on possible changes and harmonisation of international legal sources to the use of autonomous ships. In particular, the different degrees of ship autonomy according to the IMO are emphasised, after which emphasis is placed on the list of IMO international conventions, which need to be adjusted to some extent to the use of the next generation of ships. In addition, we will also present the national regulation of states that are leaders in the modernisation of their maritime industry, and which have adapted their maritime laws to allow for the unimpeded use of autonomous ships.
