The technology employed aboard ships is still tightly coupled with the processes used to maintain it (ie. Human ad-hoc intervention). If you want to automate the process, the first thing you'll think about is how to change that technology to make things easier for automation. Is it actually possible to turn a container ship into lego bricks which can be easily swapped out when broken, and can it be made hot swappable from the ship inside?

Imagine a car which would monitor each of its parts, diagnose an issue on the gearbox, and turn it offline while driving to replace it.
