Over the past several years, there were increasing levels of ship's automation accompanied by increasingly smaller ship's crews. Some forms of the automation introduced are derivatives of aerospace technology, including automated intelligent decision support for ship's crews. This paper discusses changes in waterway systems which have evolved over the past twenty years, and describes two projects illustrative of those changes, in different states of maturity: the DIPS (Distributed Intelligent Piloting System) for the St. Lawrence Seaway, and the Lockheed Martin SmartBridge, an intelligent ship's bridge system which was deployed on a Chevron Shipping Company oil tanker. The paper discusses the impacts of such technology on users of waterway systems, as well as future directions for distributed intelligent navigation systems.
