While a few years ago, the idea of unmanned and autonomous vessels navigating the seas was deemed far-fetched, the focus has shifted to determining when, in what format, and at what pace this development will occur.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this context, law plays a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of autonomous ships. Legal obstacles are often identified as the primary hindrance to the rapid integration of new technologies in the shipping industry. Within a short span of time, autonomous ships have transitioned from a non-issue to one of the key regulatory topics being addressed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). However, the regulatory discourse is still in its early stages, and while numerous new questions have emerged, concrete answers have yet to be provided.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe increased automation of tasks traditionally performed by ship crews raises intriguing legal questions across various domains of maritime law. This book, pioneering in its approach, delves into the realm of autonomous ships from a diverse array of legal perspectives, encompassing both private law and public law at the international and national levels. By offering cutting-edge research, this book will be of immense interest to scholars and researchers in the field of maritime law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 of this book is made freely accessible as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http:\/\/www.taylorfrancis.com, under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial (CC-BY-NC) 4.0 license.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367692049\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103879950586,"sku":"9780367692049","price":42.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1674829723245_book.jpg?v=1675622588","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/autonomous-ships-and-the-law-9780367692049","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
