无人船舶适航的配员标准研究

The standard of the seaworthy of the manning of unmanned ships

无人驾驶技术的发展,使得无人船舶成为可能。但是在现行国际条约和国内法下,适当配备船员是保证船舶适航的必要条件。无人船舶可能因船上无人操作而无法满足船舶配员的要求;岸上操作人员因不在船上也无法被认定为船员,无法享有船员的权利、承担船员的义务。现行制度需要做出适当调整,或者采用法律解释的方法加以适用,缓和船舶配员的要求、扩大船员的范围,方可适应、促进无人船舶技术的发展。

The emergence of the unmanned ships is the inevitable result of the development of the technology.However,current laws and regulations have not been prepared to cope with it,especially in the aspect of the seaworthiness.The unmanned ships may not be able to meet the requirements of manning due to the operating manner of them.Shore operators cannot be identified as crew members in the reason of not on board.They cannot enjoy the rights and assume the obligations of crew members.Current laws and regulations should make appropriate adjustments to adapt the changes and promote the development of the unmanned ships technology.
