This article examines the main trends that exist in the introduction of autonomous shipping within Maritime Industry 4.0, and it evaluates its positive and negative factors. It is noted that the human element will impact shipping in this new model as before, although this impact will change and be transferred to other levels. The legal uncertainties that exist in autonomous shipping are considered herein, and the ways in which these can be eliminated are outlined while taking into account the anthropocentricity of existing international legal instruments for maritime activities, the widespread introduction of digitalization, and the automation of management and communication processes. The international efforts to develop legal standards and administration practices for Marine Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) reveal a commitment to classical approaches to which new practices are gradually introduced in the development of management systems. This article pays special attention to the changes that have occurred in the public administration of MASS in order to develop a practical approach that is capable of quickly responding to new challenges and threats.
Problem setting. Basing on the possibility of lockdown prolongation or repetition in Ukraine, it is important to quicken the development and implementation of the Unified Judicial Informational and Telecommunication System (UJITS) in Ukraine, the delayed launch of which has created numerous obstacles for the proper administration of justice and access to it in the context of social distancing. One of the main factors intensifying this process is the improvement of economic activity of the UJITS developer – the state enterprise “Informational Judicial Systems”.

Judging by systematic analysis of the regulatory regulation of this state enterprise, the author concludes that there are signs of “administrative monopoly” in the implementation of the state order on the development of UJITS. The paper proposes two organizationally-legal directions of accelerating the development of the UJITS. The first one is the State Enterprise “Informational Judicial Systems” economic activity intensification and modernization. The second one is changing the method of execution of the state order on the development of the UJITS. The last proposal, which correlates to the requirements of current legislation, provides for the involvement to the implementation of the state order other enterprises specializing on the development, implementation and maintenance of information systems and IT companies on a competitive basis.
Conclusions and prospects for the development. It is concluded that the introduction of partial or systemic competitive principles in the implementation of the state order on the UJITS development will enhance the activities of the state enterprise “Informational Judicial Systems”, improve the skills and professionalism of its specialists, polish up management efficiency and make its activity more transparent. In perspective it is appropriate to compare advantages and disadvantages of mentioned directions.
