title = "Probing Civil Liability Insurance for Unmanned/Autonomous Merchant Ships",
abstract = "The operation of unmanned/autonomous merchant ships in the shipping industry will be evolutionary, but every new development unavoidably brings along with it new risks. This paper aims to acquire a full and comprehensive understanding of several fundamental issues related to civil liability insurance for unmanned/autonomous merchant ships. It concludes that although no significant legal barrier can be identified, certain non-marine insurances seem necessary to fill in the gaps for insurance cover for unmanned/autonomous merchant ships.",
