In collision-avoidance maneuvering in congested waters, an own ship is decelerated by astern power. The own ship is continuously navigated on a current target course with a propulsion propeller always rotated forward at the stern of the own ship. The astern power is generated as the propulsion of a propeller slipstream with rudder angles formed at a pair of right and left high-lift rudders disposed behind the propulsion propeller. In the decelerating maneuvering, the rudder angles formed at the high-lift rudders are controlled within a range from a rudder angle for applying a maximum propeller slipstream as the astern power to a rudder angle for eliminating the ahead power of the propeller slipstream, and the deceleration of the own ship is controlled by changing the astern power according to the rudder angles.
