Abstract
[Problem]A method for controlling a ship, a ship control program, a ship control system, and a ship that can improve reliability of a management state of an operation mode are provided. [Solution]The method for controlling a ship is employed in a ship that has a plurality of power sources including a first power source (engine 31) and a second power source (motor 32) and transmits power supplied from at least one of the plurality of power sources to the propulsive force generator 4 through the power transmitter 33 for propulsion of a hull. The control method includes determining at least two of the first power source, the second power source, and the propulsive force generator 4 as comparison targets and comparing the rotational speed between the comparison targets, and determining an abnormality of at least one of an actuator 34 that drives a power transmitter 33 and the power transmitter 33 based on the comparison result on the rotational speed.
