Or you could even use submarines that run just below the surface to keep anyone from getting on it in the first place.
All you really have to do is create a vertical wall of containers too tall to climb. You can also point the container doors in on themselves meaning the pirates have no easy access inside the containers.
An autonomous ship would not have a "wheelhouse" that a pirate could access to shutdown or physically take control of the ship.

Do I still get paid to drive the ship from shore or am I just completely out of a job ?
harbor piloting will be the most complex issue. There are too many variables to list and each is regionally specific.

Would it be considered a derelict vessel since there is no crew?

10 years seems a little optimistic for the industry as a whole. harbor pilots will never be out of a job though. contrary to this board's opinion on them, they play a major role in the industry that a robot would have a difficult time replacing

10 years is unrealistically optimistic.
It's tough enough to get generators to parallel properly and telematics hasn't even made an impact in ships yet. Autonomous shipping is several decades out.

You lace it full of explosives and tell the owner you're going to blow it if they don't pay up.

Work in the field, in the IT side of things. This is an overly optimistic timeline. The security isn't there. What's going to happen when some Chinese hacker decides he's bored and drives a VLCC right into another ship, or an OSV right into a rig?
Then do your job and the design a system that stops this.
