The provisional initial information specifier may accept a specification of provisional initial information for characteristic information on an object to which a ship anchors or docks (docks to a pier). The measurement sensor may acquire measurement information on an object using a ranging result of an area including the object.

Ship navigation assistance device, ship navigation assistance method, and ship navigation assistance program

A situation display device is provided. The device includes: an observation data acquiring module configured to acquire observation data, and information of observed locations of the observation data; a data selecting module configured to select the observation data within a predetermined range from a course of the device; and a display unit configured to display a location of the device on a bottom side of a display screen, and display the course linearly such that its traveling direction extends upward from the bottom side. The display unit displays, a predetermined area in an upward tapering shape, and displays the selected observation data at a position that indicates a relation between the course and the observed location, the displayed position of the device in the perpendicular direction being corresponding to an offset of the location of the device from the course.
