An unparalleled description and evaluation of the legal issues arising from the use of autonomous ships in national and international waters

Join us for this book launch event in partnership with Hart Publishing Ltd

Autonomous shipping and AI go together inseparably: you can’t have the one without the other. Computer control and AI, however, themselves raise enormously complex legal issues. It follows that shipping lawyers have a good deal of thinking to do on how to bridge the gap between law and technological advances in the field.

This book is the result of two years’ collaboration between seven eminent lawyers and academics, who will be known to everyone in the field:

* Associate Professor Roderick Bagshaw
* Professor Simon Baughen
* Associate Professor George Leloudas
* Peter Macdonald-Eggers QC
* Professor Barış Soyer
* Professor Andrew Tettenborn
* Dr Youri van Logchem

The result is an unparalleled description and evaluation of the legal issues arising from the use of autonomous ships in national and international waters.

The launch of this work on 24 March 2021, which in view of COVID will take the form of a Webinar kindly made possible by the publishers Hart Publishing Ltd. Under the watchful chairmanship of leading commercial law judge Mr Justice Picken, a number of the authors will be discussing a few of the issues that arise in terms of private law, product liability, public international law and other matters.
