Crew...

Apart from the routine engineering and maintenance that goes on round the clock/during a voyage, the crew on container ships go round checking the containers at regular intervals like the lashing points and if a refrigerated container, then those too are monitored and attended to if required. What an autonomous ship would give is lessen the workload/and or reduce the crew level for the bridge.
