Why this is canonical

'Ships' is the physical vessel-specific term that distinguishes this from the broader 'shipping' logistics category — it names the autonomous maritime transport technology directly. The IMO has published Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship (MASS) frameworks, the International Classification Societies have issued notation guidelines, and multiple technology programs (Rolls-Royce, Kongsberg, Yara Birkeland) have demonstrated the concept. This coordinate names the category precisely on the agent-era TLD.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Maritime autonomy technology
The category brand for companies building the navigation, perception, and decision systems that make autonomous vessel operation possible.
Maritime technology companies, autonomous navigation system vendors, ship classification societies
Autonomous vessel fleet operations
The platform brand for operators managing fleets of autonomous or remotely operated vessels — port operations, offshore logistics, inland waterways.
Shipping companies, port operators, defense maritime technology, offshore energy
