The maritime transportation sector is undergoing a profound shift with the emergence of autonomous vessels powered by real-time artificial intelligence (AI) agents. This article investigates pivotal role these agents in enhancing safety, efficiency, and sustainability systems. Following structured literature review, we examine architecture AI agents, including sensor integration, communication systems, computational infrastructure. We distinguish from conventional systems emphasizing their specialized functions, processing demands, resilience dynamic environments. Key safety mechanisms—such as collision avoidance, anomaly detection, emergency coordination, fail-safe operations—are analyzed to demonstrate how contribute operational reliability. study also explores regulatory compliance, focusing on emission control, monitoring, data governance. Implementation challenges, limited onboard power, legal ethical constraints, interoperability issues, are addressed practical solutions such edge modular architectures. Finally, outlines future research directions involving smart port scalable models, emerging technologies like federated explainable AI. work highlights transformative potential advancing transportation.
