A ship calling system based on CAN-to-Modbus/TCP-conversion belongs to the technical field of ship communication. The ship calling system includes a host computer, acquisition modules and a remote monitoring device, wherein the host computer is connected with the acquisition modules and the remote monitoring device. The ship calling system is characterized in that the host computer performs the CAN-to-Modbus/TCP protocol conversion; the acquisition modules are in data communication with the host computer through a CAN bus, wherein the format of transferred data is CAN data frame; and the host computer is in data communication with the remote monitoring device through the Ethernet, wherein the format of transferred data is Modbus/TCP data frame. The ship calling system has the following advantages that: data communication among heterogeneous networks is realized; the problems such as short communication distance, low transmission speed and small data transmission quantity when industrial equipment exchanges da
