Abstract

Abstract Demonstrations and local tests of several maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS) have recently been carried out. From a technological standpoint, MASS are becoming able to handle actual operations in certain sea areas. Since 2017, the MSC (Maritime Safety Committee) of the IMO (International Maritime Organization) has been discussing legal problems with the Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs) with regard to MASS operation. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the rules from the perspective of seafarers, who need to interpret COLREGs when dealing with MASS in ship handling situations on the sea, and also to discuss possible required amendments to COLREGs. This paper attempts to clarify the extent of current interpretations while also taking into account the answers to questionnaires received from 130 pilots, ship captains and navigation officers concerning COLREGs for MASS operation. Given the four common principles of COLREGs, it is considered whether the principles need to be changed with the introduction of MASS from the viewpoint of seafarers.

从海员的角度来看，操作海上自主水面船舶所需的规则

摘要:最近进行了几艘海上自主水面舰艇(MASS)的演示和局部测试。从技术的角度来看，MASS正在变得能够处理某些海域的实际行动。自2017年以来，国际海事组织(IMO)海上安全委员会(MSC)一直在讨论《海上避碰规则》(COLREGs)关于MASS操作的法律问题。本文的目的是从海员的角度来阐明规则，海员在海上船舶处理MASS时需要对COLREGs进行解释，并讨论可能需要对COLREGs进行的修改。本文试图澄清当前解释的程度，同时也考虑到从130名飞行员，船长和航海官收到的关于MASS操作COLREGs的问卷的答案。鉴于COLREGs的四项共同原则，从海员的角度考虑是否需要随着MASS的引入而改变这些原则。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
