It is expected that the maritime world will be significantly different by 2050, from smart ports through to blockchain-based shipping documents and autonomous vessels. As the maritime trade witnesses further developments in this field, there will be an inevitable struggle to harmonise the new technology vessels with the traditional rules of law. This article seeks to further the discussion of one of the main legal rules that will have a significant role in shaping sea carriers’ liability for goods carried by autonomous vessels: the nautical fault exception, which operates to remove, to some extent, sea carriers’ liability for losses arising from the acts or omissions of their employees. The main tenet of this article is that an adapted version of the exception should be available to govern the carriage of goods by new technology vessels. In this context, it advocates the use of legal personhood for the purposes of the nautical fault exception. In so doing, this article contributes to the important debate in employment law on the distribution of the risk of losses arising from autonomous systems when, in future, they take over tasks traditionally carried out by employees. In the absence of employment contracts to perform certain commercial activities, the law will need to decide whether legal personhood should be assigned to autonomous systems for efficient and fair risk allocation. This article illustrates why this may be the solution particularly where there is a ‘fine-tuned’ balance of liability already struck in the current legal landscape.

新兴技术迷雾中的航海故障异常重新概念化

预计到 2050 年,从智能港口到基于区块链的运输文件和自主船舶,海洋世界将发生重大变化。随着海上贸易在这一领域的进一步发展,将新技术船舶与传统法律规则相协调将不可避免地发生斗争。本文旨在进一步讨论将对海上承运人对自主船舶所载货物的责任产生重大影响的主要法律规则之一:航海过失例外,它在一定程度上消除了海上承运人的责任。因雇员的作为或不作为而造成的损失的责任。这篇文章的主要原则是,应该有一个改编版本的例外来管理新技术船只的货物运输。在这种情况下,它主张将法人资格用于航行过失例外的目的。通过这样做,本文有助于就业法中关于自治系统在未来接管传统上由员工执行的任务时所产生的损失风险的分配的重要辩论。在没有从事某些商业活动的雇佣合同的情况下,法律将需要决定是否应将法人身份分配给自治系统,以实现有效和公平的风险分配。本文说明了为什么这可能是解决方案,特别是在当前法律环境中已经实现“微调”的责任平衡的情况下。本文有助于就业法中关于自治系统在未来接管传统上由雇员执行的任务时所产生的损失风险的分配的重要辩论。在没有从事某些商业活动的雇佣合同的情况下,法律将需要决定是否应将法人身份分配给自治系统,以实现有效和公平的风险分配。本文说明了为什么这可能是解决方案,特别是在当前法律环境中已经实现“微调”的责任平衡的情况下。本文有助于就业法中关于自治系统在未来接管传统上由雇员执行的任务时所产生的损失风险的分配的重要辩论。在没有从事某些商业活动的雇佣合同的情况下,法律将需要决定是否应将法人身份分配给自治系统,以实现有效和公平的风险分配。本文说明了为什么这可能是解决方案,特别是在当前法律环境中已经实现“微调”的责任平衡的情况下。在没有从事某些商业活动的雇佣合同的情况下,法律将需要决定是否应将法人身份分配给自治系统,以实现有效和公平的风险分配。本文说明了为什么这可能是解决方案,特别是在当前法律环境中已经实现“微调”的责任平衡的情况下。在没有从事某些商业活动的雇佣合同的情况下,法律将需要决定是否应将法人身份分配给自治系统,以实现有效和公平的风险分配。本文说明了为什么这可能是解决方案,特别是在当前法律环境中已经实现“微调”的责任平衡的情况下。
