  • Publication number: 20240109626
    Abstract: A ship monitoring system makes it easier to grasp a heading of another ship, and includes a first data generating part, a second data generating part, and processing circuitry. The first data generating part generates first ship data indicative of a position and a velocity of a first ship. The second data generating part generates second ship data indicative of a position and a velocity of a second ship. The processing circuitry calculates a risk value indicative of a risk of the first ship and the second ship colliding each other, for each point on an estimated course of the second ship, based on the first ship data and the second ship data, when assuming that the first ship changes the course and reaches the point. The processing circuitry displays a risk area indicative of a heading of the second ship at the point where the risk value is more than a threshold.
