Autonomous Guidance and Navigation (AGN) is meant to be an important part of the future ocean navigation due to the associated navigational cost reduction and maritime safety. Furthermore intelligent decision making capabilities should be an integrated part of the future AGN system in order to improve autonomous ocean navigational facilities. This paper is focused on an overview of the AGN systems with respect to the collision avoidance in ocean navigation. In addition, a case study of a fuzzy logic based decision making process accordance with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs) has been illustrated.
