Abstract
This ship maneuvering device causes a ship having at least one propulsion device mounted thereon to travel along a scheduled course. The ship maneuvering device is provided with a control unit. The control unit acquires an azimuth deviation between an actual bow azimuth, which is the current bow azimuth of the ship, and a target bow azimuth of the ship, and, on the basis of the azimuth deviation, generates a thrust command that indicates the thrust with which the ship is to be propelled. In the case where the azimuth deviation is equal to or greater than a prescribed value, the control unit generates a thrust command such that causes the speed of the ship is reduced below an actual speed which is the current speed of the ship.
Claims12
A ship maneuvering device for moving a ship equipped with at least one propulsion device along a scheduled course, the ship maneuvering device comprising:
- a control unit configured to acquire an azimuth deviation between an actual bow azimuth which is a current bow azimuth of the ship and a target bow azimuth of the ship to generate a thrust command indicating thrust for propelling the ship based on the azimuth deviation, and
- wherein, in a case where the azimuth deviation is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the control unit is configured to generate the thrust command such that a speed of the ship decreases from an actual speed which is a current speed of the ship.
