There is more "noise" to deal with on the water than on the air. For a start, there is the entire ocean floor, that is relevant on many places where ships usually go into, and isn't as simple to map as a runway.

That problem can be avoided in the beginning. Ships could pilot themselves in deep waters between ports and leave docking / undocking to local human port pilots.
