In a world that is swiftly becoming autonomous, who will have the duty to pay when something goes wrong? Technology is continuously developing at a rapid pace, and the world is now faced with the introduction of unmanned and autonomous vessels. The introduction of these vessels will without a doubt bring a change to the maritime legal framework as we know it today. This paper seeks to analyse the attribution of legal liability for collision damage caused by such vessels where there was a defect or malfunction with its onboard software. Since there are no longer a crew and master on board, can the shipowner of the unmanned and autonomous vessel be held solely liable?
