Safety
ADVANTAGES
• HUMAN ERRORS
• CREWING COSTS
• SAFETY
• SPACE
• FUEL EFFICIENCY
• ECONOMY
DRAWBACKS
• LARGE CAPITAL INVESTMENT
• QUITE INCOMPATIBILITY(CURRENT MARINE INFRASTRUCTURE)
• MOVING PARTS MAINTENANCE (LONG VOYAGES)
• BREECHING OF DATA AND HACKING
• BREAKDOWNS
CONCLUSION
• NO VIABLE ECONOMIC BENEFIT
• HUMAN PRESENCE NEED NECESSARY
• APPLICATION CAN BE IN SMALL COASTAL VESSELS
• ECONOMIC GAMBLE
• ADVANCED LEVEL ROBOTIC APPLICATION
