Dredging support system

In a dredging support system attached to a backhoe dredger, the seabed of the dredging area is dredged more efficiently and with greater precision. [Solution] The guidance information displayed on the monitor screen 30 includes a closing operation line 45 that indicates the start timing for closing the grab bucket 8. With this, by simply starting the closing operation of the grab bucket 8 when the closing operation line 45 and the cutting edge of the shell related to the bucket position and orientation information 40 coincide on the monitor screen 30, the lowest point position of the cutting edge of the shell 18 and the dredging depth position can be matched. Therefore, even in dredging operations using a clamshell-type grab bucket 8 in which the cutting edge of the shell 18 traces an arc-shaped trajectory when in the opening and closing position, it is possible to prevent incomplete digging or over-digging.
