Abstract

An automatic steering device includes an acquirer, and processing circuitry. The acquirer acquires a traveling state including a heading or a position of a ship, and ship information on the ship. The processing circuitry calculates a first evaluation value that is an evaluation value indicative of a performance for maintaining the heading of the ship or a route based on the traveling state. The processing circuitry calculates a second evaluation value that is an evaluation value related to a ship handling control based on the ship information. The processing circuitry sets a control parameter related to a motion control of the ship based on the first evaluation value or the second evaluation value.
