Abstract
A marine vessel maneuvering support apparatus includes a controller configured or programmed to execute a lateral movement mode, in which a lateral thrust is applied to a hull, by controlling at least two propulsion devices in response to receiving an instruction to laterally move the hull. The controller is configured or programmed to control the propulsion devices so as to generate a thrust to pivot-turn the hull at least at a start of the lateral movement mode.
