Review of research on navigational risk identification for maritime autonomous surface ships
Maritime autonomous surface ships(MASS),as an important development direction in the future shipping industry,have gradually received widespread attention from the international maritime community,especially the potential risks influencing their navigation safety.Firstly,combining with the current research,the differences between the risk identi-fication means of traditional ships and MASS are compared.Secondly,the possible risk factors during MASS navigation are summarized from five aspects:man-made,ship equipment and system,environment,management,and network security.Fi-nally,the limitations of the current research on risk identification of MASS navigation are revealed and future research direc-tions are proposed.This study is conducive to the discovery of changes in risk factors of autonomous ships,which is of refer-ence significance for risk identification and assessment of autonomous ships.
