To reduce the time required for the taking-off and landing of a ship, and increase the safety and certainty of operation by forming a plurality of guide rods over the overall length of a ship bottom in the center of the outside surface of the ship bottom on a side and under water along a floating pier, guiding them to a takeoff and landing pier guide having a parallel portion with the floating pier, and bringing the ship alongside it.

A taking-off and landing pier guide 4 is formed out of a guide bar 6 which is mounted on the support member 5 of a floating pier 1 to open fore and aft, and whose middle part is tapered in parallel with the floating pier 1, and when a plurality of guide rods 9 disposed over the overall length in the center of the outside surface of a ship bottom at roughly regular pitches reach the parallel portion of the guide bar 6, the guide bar 6 is disposed at a position where the board of the ship comes into contact with a buffering roller 8. When the ship approaches a zone indicated by the mark lamp 7 of the taking-off and landing pier guide 4, and the guide rod 9 is guided by the guide bar 6 mechanically with the navigation of the ship, it is possible to bring the ship alongside the floating pier 1 by forming at least two guide rods 9 on the parallel portion of the guide bar 6 at all times.
