Stage: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve accuracy in ballast adjustment while carrying out other cargo handling work.SOLUTION: A vessel control system 1 includes: a flow meter 30 for measuring flow rate of ballast water flowing through piping 90; an actuator 40 for operating a valve 50 that is connected to the piping 90 and adjusts the flow rate of the ballast water; and a valve control substrate 20. The valve control substrate 20: determines, based on a preset planned flow rate of the ballast water or a measured flow rate of the ballast water measured by the flow meter, whether there is any need to control the valve 50; and, upon determining that it is necessary to carry out control of the valve 50, calculates a target opening of the valve 50 based on the planned flow rate, the measured flow rate, and a present opening of the valve. The actuator 40 operates the valve 50 so that the target opening is obtained.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 (Grant)
