預測自主船技術進入等級二後對未來船員配置之適當性探討

自主船舶（Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship, MASS）議題已受到多方重視，此類船又稱無人船（Unmanned Ship）其技術發展可分為四等級，有專家認為目前船員專業仍無法被人工智慧（Artificial Intelligence, AI）取代。本文蒐集文獻、網路資料、國際海事組織文件後進行研究，對船上人力配置議題以實務考量進行合理預測，MASS進入等級二後船上現行兩部門配置將出現新式之三小組方式。我國籍船員未來欲服務於上述先進科技之船舶，其適任性與相應訓練方式，權責機關可開始思考對策。雖各方觀點均指出此技術進入等級二後會發生長期停滯，且何時能大規模用於海運業界尚無法預測，但未來技術能否進入等級三也並非不可能。

The development of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS), also known as unmanned ships, has garnered significant attention. The ship basically could be categorized into four technical levels of autonomy. Some experts believe that the crew members will not be replaced by artificial intelligence (AI). This article through literature review, internet information, and International Maritime Organization documents, and make reasonable predictions on the issue of manning on board in a practical direction. Now two-department configuration of ships will present a new type of three-team. Authorities should start thinking about the competency and corresponding training of national seafarers in the future. Although all parties point out that above technology will be stagnant for a long time after it enters degree two, and it is still unpredictable when it will be used on a large scale in the shipping industry, but it is not impossible to enter the degree three.
