SHIP CONTROL DEVICE AND SHIP CONTROL METHOD
SHIP CONTROL DEVICE AND SHIP CONTROL METHOD
The ship control device is provided with processing circuitry. The processing circuitry receives operation inputs from an actuator that controls the propulsion state of the ship, including the propulsion force and moving direction. The processing circuitry controls the navigation of the ship in a plurality of navigation modes, including a manual navigation mode using the operation inputs and an automatic navigation mode that maintains the propulsion state. When the processing circuitry receives a direction change operation input to change the moving direction in the operation input in the automatic navigation mode, the propulsion force of the ship is changed from the maintained propulsion force.
