SEOUL, Nov. 6 (Yonhap) -- The government said Thursday it has decided to exempt a preliminary feasibility study for an autonomous vessel project powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to help speed up the country's future maritime capabilities.
With the exemption, the country will speed up the development of core technologies for building the Level 4 autonomous vessel by 2032, according to the industry and oceans ministries.
Level 4 means that a ship is fully autonomous, capable of making decisions and determining actions by itself with AI-based perception and control. It is considered a next-generation vessel that can reshape the future of the shipping and shipbuilding industries.

Since the retreat of COVID many of the more responsible shipowners, operators and managers have embarked on improving crew welfare, increasing training and diversifying the workforce.
