Abstract

Today, technology affects every aspect of life. In recent years, one of the most important technological developments in the field of maritime transportation has been “autonomous/unmanned marine vehicles”. With the rapidly developing technology in the “Industry 4.0” era, these vehicles have begun being used in the maritime field. These vehicles are expected to provide further efficiency in both civilian and military maritime operations in a safer and more secure manner. This study aims to examine and determine the usage opportunities (concepts) of autonomous/unmanned marine vehicles to enhance maritime safety and security. With this aim, a Delphi research with 18 participating experts was conducted in addition to the literature review (document analysis). Because of the Delphi research, 18 usage concepts, eight of which reached consensus at the end of three Delphi sessions, were found based on expert opinions. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the maritime literature and future projects to enhance maritime safety and security.
