[QUOTE=cajaya;182285]So, no answer on the security question yet. Have they even thought about it? As this becomes more popular or talked about or even starts…I can see it becoming a target or interest for hackers. I dont know how congested or uncongested the northern European coasts are but I mean in the right set of circumstances I can see it being a pretty bad situation. As in, rogue/hijacked automomous ship hits LNG carrier which blows up passenger ship.[/QUOTE]
You could google it and if you don’t get any hits then no one has thought of it.
In general increasing automation will bring new risks. It will also reduce other risks. The consensus seems to be automation will reduce risk overall.
