A relative velocity indicator system for assistance in the docking of vessels uses a radar sensor providing a relative velocity signal indicative of the relative velocity between a ship and a reference, such as a dock. A wireless transmitter associated with the radar sensor receives said relative velocity signal and transmits a signal indicative of said relative velocity signal. A portable receiver and indicator unit carried by the captain of the vessel has a receiver for receiving the transmitted signal and an indicator arranged to receive, from said receiver, a receiver signal indicative of the transmitted signal and, thereby, of the relative velocity signal for indicating the relative velocity between ship and reference.
