A position locating system to locate relative position information between a marine vessel and a trailer includes a laser scanner on a first object, that is one of a marine vessel and a trailer for the marine vessel, to reciprocatingly scan a predetermined range in a horizontal direction with laser light, a laser light receiver on a second object, that is the other of the marine vessel and the trailer, to receive laser light emitted from the laser scanner, and a position locator configured or programmed to locate relative position information between the marine vessel and the trailer based on light receiving timings when the laser light emitted from the laser scanner is received by the laser light receiver.

A ship maneuver supporting device capable of displaying a collision risk zone which matches navigation feel of a ship operator with reduced calculation load, is provided. The ship maneuver supporting device 1 includes processing circuitry (11, 21, 31, 41). The processing circuitry calculates a collision risk value for determining whether a collision risk zone that is a zone where a possibility of a collision between a first ship and a second ship will occur in the future is high is to be displayed, based on a separating distance between the position of the second ship estimated at a plurality of future time points and the position of the first ship estimated corresponding thereto, in consideration of a physical size of at least one of the first ship and the second ship. Further, the processing circuitry generate display data for displaying the collision risk zone at the estimated position of the second ship, based on the determination using the collision risk value.
