Abstract
A maneuvering control device for vessels, and vessels are provided, which recognize docks with high accuracy. A maneuvering control devicefor a vesselincludes: a vessel self-position data acquisition unit P that acquires position data on itself; a radar device R arranged on a hull, the radar device receiving a reflected wave from an object of a radio wave transmitted around the hull; and a vessel-maneuvering data processing unitthat creates a map of around the hull and estimates a vessel self-position by using the position data acquired by the vessel self-position data acquisition unit P and data on the reflected wave received by the radar device R, in which the vessel-maneuvering data processing unitcreates a map by removing received values below a threshold from the data on the reflected wave.
