Automated Ships Security Problems

Automated and robotic ships are in experimental stage nowadays. Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) are defined by IMO. In this paper, security of automatic and communication systems of such ships is investigated. MASS are dependent of communications, i.e. GPS signals, communication with a shore control centre, datalinks, etc. Hence, cybersecurity is the most important part, if hacker-pirates are to be stopped of kidnaping the ship. We also elaborate potential difficulties in usage of block chain technology for improvement of MASS communication security. This technology is already used in maritime for bill of lading. Technical demands for MASS and redundancy must be design to increase security. Finally, relationship between MASS and other ships leads to the maritime intelligent transport system (MITS).
