Abstract

A hull control device is provided, which includes an error distance calculating module, an approaching speed calculating module and a command value setting module. The error distance calculating module calculates an error distance between a target position of a fixed-point hold and a ship position. The approaching speed calculating module calculates an approaching speed of a ship to the target position. The command value setting module sets a throttle command value according to a combination of the error distance and the approaching speed.
