An instruction value conversion section () of an operation target calculation section () converts an instruction signal from a joystick (). In order to obtain a movement mode of a ship intended by an operator, a target propeller speed calculation section () calculates, using each converted value, target rotation speed of right and left propellers () and the propeller () of a thruster (). At a main engine operation control section (), a slip rate determination section () calculates the slip rate U of a clutch mechanism () of a marine gear () in order to rotate the propellers () at the target rotation speed. A drive control section () controls operation of the main engine () and the clutch mechanism (). Further, in a thruster operation control section (), a drive control section () controls drive of the propeller () in the rotational direction determined by an operation determining section ().

Ship-steering device

A camshaft for internal combustion engines, the camshaft having a double-pipe shaft portion comprising an outer pipe, an inner pipe, and an intermediate layer therebetween. The intermediate layer is composed of a layer of a thermoplastic liquid crystalline polyester resin that has been injected into a gap between the outer pipe and the inner pipe, by an injection molding machine. The camshaft is lightweight and has excellent vibration-damping properties, and further, has a structure allowing an easy manufacture thereof, and thus is suitable for mass production.
