Rolls-Royce is in


the autonomous shipping game as well, though the effort is tucked under their "Ship Intelligence" banner. Rougly the same timeline as with the Japanese. There seems to be a more or less concerted effort to get marine conventions, regulations and such up to date for the introduction. My guess is this won't solely be a steering, navigation and management solution but that infrastructure, logistics and ship design itself will be affected beyond just removing crew facilities.
