Embarcações autônomas de superfície e a segurança do tráfego aquaviário em águas sob Jurisdição Nacional Brasileira.

Abstract

Currently a new category of merchant ships is under development, the autonomous. Such ships have several levels of automation, which cause insecurities in relation to their regulation and in particular the standards that promote the safety of waterway traffic. Unmanned ships change the rules on the safety of navigation and the role of man in the maritime transport sector. Thus, due to national maritime characteristics, it is necessary that Brazil dedicates itself to the needs of adaptation of national legislation in relation to MASS operations in AJB. The main objective of the work is to address and analyze some international regulatory standards and national standards on navigation safety illustrating the importance of knowledge and the inclusion of autonomous ships in internal regulation. Thus, it is proposed to present which aspects should be taken into account by the Brazilian legislator to regulate MASS operations in AJB
