أثر التكنولوجيا في صناعة السفن على شروط التصادم البحري في القانون البحري الإماراتي و الاتفاقيات الدولية

الملخص EN

This research aimed to clarify the impact of modern technology in shipbuilding on the collision conditions of the floating facility and the cases excluded from maritime collision.

It also seeks to assess the position of the Emirati legislator and international agreements on the terms of maritime collision in light of recent developments in the shipbuilding industry.

Such developments included the growing number of ships, their high speed, and their advanced technological systems.

Added to this is the union of their maritime navigation routes, which makes them vulnerable to the risk of maritime collision.

This raises multiple legal problems, due to the lack of training of human resources on the use of modern technologies introduced on ships.

The research concluded that the Emirati legislator did not address advanced marine vessels, and therefore the maritime collision rules applicable in the traditional crewed sea context cannot be applied to autonomous ships equipped with advanced technologies.

Accordingly, the research recommended the examination of this issue by the international legislator to establish international regulations that anticipate the future of maritime trade, address new issues related to maritime navigation and subject advanced ships to maritime collision rules.
