Abstract:
A ship including: an out-drive unit that exerts a propulsion force on a ship hull by power from an engine; a detection device for detecting a current position, a bow direction, and a moving speed of the ship hull; a shift lever that changes magnitude and direction of an output from the out-drive unit; a lever sensor that detects a manipulation position of the shift lever; and a ship steering control device that is connected to the out-drive unit, the detection device, and the lever sensor. The ship steering control device acquires the operating status of the out-drive unit and the detection results obtained by the detection device and the lever sensor and controls the out-drive unit based on the detection results. The ship steering control device performs a dynamic positioning control when the shift lever is in the positioning position.
