Actually, since they are in no hurry, they just avoid dangerous areas, and we get the added bonus of no more drunken Hazelwoods giving oil and captains a bad rap.

The controls and engine room will probably be locked out without a key or code. At least they will be after the first piracy

And Somali pirates lick their chops.That is what I was thinking too. My question would be, who repairs things when they break? Who puts out the fires that sometimes happen? And, as you say, who shoots the pirates?

Not sure if it would encourage or deter pirates. No crew to take hostage. On-board sensors could be used to lock down ship and alert local naval units. Trying to get cargo off a fast moving container ship would be problematic. All they could do is threaten to blow the ship.

It’s really hard to hijack a ship that has no onboard controls.
