Marine vessel and marine vessel propulsion control system

A marine vessel propulsion control system able to individually control magnitudes and directions of thrusts generated by a plurality of propulsion devices provided on a marine vessel, the marine vessel propulsion control system comprising:

• an operator to move the marine vessel in a tilting direction of the operator;
• and
• a controller configured or programmed to control the magnitude and the direction of the thrust generated by each of the plurality of propulsion devices so as to move the marine vessel in the tilting direction of the operator;
• wherein
• when the operator is first tilted toward a lateral direction perpendicular to a front-rear direction of the marine vessel, the controller is configured or programmed to execute a first control to move the marine vessel in the lateral direction, and to cause each of the plurality of propulsion devices to generate a thrust to eliminate a deviation of the marine vessel in the front-rear direction from a position of the marine vessel when the operator was first tilted;
• when the operator is tilted in the front-rear direction while the marine vessel moves in the lateral direction, the controller is configured or programmed to interrupt the first control and execute a second control to cause each of the plurality of propulsion devices to generate a thrust corresponding to the tilting of the operator in the front-rear direction;
• and
• when the operator is tilted within a predetermined angular range about the lateral direction, the predetermined angular range including a direction clockwise from the lateral direction and a direction counterclockwise from the lateral direction, the controller is configured or programmed to move the marine vessel in the lateral direction and execute the first control.
