The maritime industry faces many pressing challenges due to increasing environmental and safety regulations and crew safety concerns. In light of these challenges, autonomous ships can provide potential solutions for addressing smart shipping, fuel efficiency, and safety issues. The development of marine autonomy technology will significantly improve the situation and is expected to become a cost-efficient alternative to conventional ships. Currently, automated shipping technology is rapidly transitioning from theoretical to practical applications as the number and scope of autonomous ship prototypes increase around the globe. These prototypes are widely used in both navy and commercial applications, such as ocean observation, coast patrol, underwater monitoring, and underwater production system operation, to name just a few.
