Zusammenfassung:	A system for operating a plurality of autonomous vessels (101). Communication interfaces (108) enable communication between a remote-control center (110) and the respective autonomous vessels (101). A fleet coordination layer (201) implemented in the remote-control center (110) aggregates information relating to operation of the autonomous vessels (101), performs risk assessment, and issues operational mode transition instructions to the autonomous vessels (101) when appropriate. Aa vessel coordination layer (202) is implemented on the autonomous vessels (101) and controls transitions between operational modes of the autonomous vessels (101). A vessel execution layer (203) implemented on the autonomous vessels (101) includes sensors (301), a perception, planning, and execution module (302) and actuators (303), uses the actuators (303) to control the motion of the autonomous vessel (101) in accordance with a mission description, received sensor data, and operational mode instructions from the operational mode management module (402). A corresponding method is also disclosed.
