a human machine interface, receiving an input to perform the automatic berthing mode;
at least one peripheral sensor, detecting position information of an another vessel other than the vessel;
wherein the controller performs an automatic berthing control when the input to perform the automatic berthing mode is received until the vessel reaches a berthing position, and
the controller stops the automatic berthing control when the another vessel is located within a predetermined distance from the vessel based on the position information.
