<p>The auto-pilot technology that implements cruise control such that a section between designated veering points is linearly passed is troublesome and time-consuming if one desires to freely design a route that includes a continuously curving route. Also, when the ship cruises along a prescribed route repeatedly, such as in the case of fishing vessels or sightseeing boats, or when a desired ship handling operation is repeated in the case of fishing boats or towing vessels and the like, it is not easy to implement sufficient automatic control using the auto-pilot technology for passing veering points. Thus, the present invention provides a technology that facilitates a desired ship handling operation. A ship handling system according to a first embodiment of the present invention records a ship handling operation regarding engine rotational speed changes and rudder direction in a predetermined recording period, and enables automatic ship cruise by reproducing the recorded ship handling operation. When the recorded ship handling operation is reproduced, GPS position information and information about ship orientation are utilized.</p> |
