While digitalization drives the development of autonomous ships, the risks rising out of digitalization were reviewed. Adoption of digital technology has many benefits, but the technology itself has its own faults, which will have users suffering from the learning curve. The digital devices onboard are not permanently reliable, and they can fail due to harsh utilization conditions, fatigue, or latent defects. As the shipping industry continues to move down the road towards digitalization, an alert need to be delivered ahead in order to minimize the potential future risks.
