Abstract
Provided is a ship maneuvering device that can increase operation sensitivity and enables smooth operation when simultaneously operating the rotation component determination unit and the oblique sailing component determination unit of an operation means. In the ship maneuvering device, a control devicecomputes a rotation component propulsion vector Trot for rotation and an oblique sailing component propulsion vector Tfor oblique sailing for left and right out-drive unitsA,B from the amount of operation of a joystick, calculates the combined torque T by combining the rotation component propulsion vector Tand the oblique sailing component propulsion vector Tfor each of the left and right out-drive unitsA,B, and computes the propulsion and orientation for each of the left and right out-drive unitsA,B.
