Research Projects

Luci is undertaking a project that examines the future legal opportunities and challenges presented by the use of automated technology and unmanned vessels in international shipping. The project involves assessing the current domestic and international legal regimes, with respect to safe manning levels. It also considers why the proposed autonomous ships will struggle to provide the functional equivalent of the shipmaster and, how, or if, these vessels can comply with compulsory pilotage. At an international level, the project will evaluate what jurisdictional issues may arise and whether the current limitation regimes for maritime claims may be relied upon in the event of an incident involving an unmanned or autonomous ship. The project is assessing these issues from an Asian common law and commonwealth perspective, with a particular emphasis on Singapore's legislative framework.
