About

Dimitrios Dalaklis is a leading scholar at the intersection of maritime law, technology, and governance. His research focuses on the regulatory challenges posed by emerging maritime technologies, particularly robotics and autonomous systems (RAS), and the development of smart ports. Dalaklis’s most cited work, “Maritime Robotics and Autonomous Systems Operations: Exploring Pathways for Overcoming International Techno-Regulatory Data Barriers” (2021, 19 citations), critically analyzes the complex regulatory landscape for vessel survey, inspection, and maintenance, identifying key barriers to innovation. He further contributed to the field with the pioneering book “Smart Ports and Robotic Systems” (2023), one of the first to comprehensively examine the interplay between smart port infrastructure and remote technologies. His work, including the introductory chapter “Navigating the Waves of Techno-Regulation and Governance” (2023), demonstrates a sustained effort to bridge the gap between rapid technological advancement and existing international frameworks. By highlighting the need for updated techno-regulatory governance, Dalaklis provides essential guidance for policymakers and engineers navigating the future of autonomous maritime operations and port digitalization.
