In this research, the portable remote monitoring system for navigational support of ship was constructed for the purpose of preservation of the safety of marine traffic. This system can provide useful information also to the ship operator of a different operating situation. Furthermore, although this system consists of low-cost equipments, it is very functional. Moreover, installation and use of apparatus are very easy. In order to verify the usefulness of this built system, the ship operator with an insufficient navigation experience conducted the experiment which uses a proposal system, and the ship operator with abundant navigation experience conducted the experiment which uses this system in the first ocean space to cruise. The validity of the proposal system was confirmed by each from those experimental results.
