Unmanned and autonomous vessels are a multi-disciplinary research topic. The related legal research analyses international maritime law and depicts several legal challenges to be met. The article provides an overview of the legal literature, focusing on three aspects concerning the commercial shipping industry. First, the legal status of unmanned and autonomous vessels in maritime law will be discussed. Almost unanimously, such vessels are considered as ‘ships’ within the scope of maritime law. Second, the minimum safe manning requirement governed by several conventions will be examined. The main issue is whether the statutory provisions prevent unmanned operations at all, or whether a more favourable interpretation can be applied. Third, the duty to maintain a proper lookout will be examined. Scholars are reluctant to interpret the respective rules broadly and call for amendments considering the technical peculiarities.
