The modern industrial system relies heavily on maritime transport to secure the elements required for the production process. Therefore, surface vessel navigation is becoming increasingly complex especially in narrow and busy waterways. Autonomous surface vessels are becoming an attractive solution to govern safe maritime operations in such waterways. Due to the many possible ways of encountering a ship, it is impossible to employ a rule-based navigation developed at design time. Instead, the manoeuvre decision for safe collision avoidance must be shifted to operation time with added requirement of being able to adapt with new scenarios that are not exploited at training time. In such highly dynamic interwoven systems the demand of mastering the ever-changing system integration becomes essential. In this article, I describe for the challenges that appear with the goal of training autonomous surface vessels for the purpose of public transport, and I summarise the proposed approaches to realise a collision-free navigation system for such surface vessels.
