Abstract
My intent in writing this paper is to advance a general method for finding the most economical number of crew for any proposed commercial ship and to estimate the potential savings in average annual cost. Specific cost estimates are given where possible. There are, however, certain unknown cost factors that cannot be accurately analysed until more experience has been gained in the operation of automated ships.
