To provide a fuel supply vessel for stably handling a cargo.SOLUTION: A fuel supply vessel includes: a hull; a propulsion system for propelling the hull in an arbitrary direction; a cargo handling hose which is provided on the hull and performs cargo handling of a fuel between the hose and a cargo handling object; a positioning system for measuring a relative position of the hull to the cargo handling object; and a control device for controlling the propulsion system so that a relative distance between the cargo handling object and the hull becomes a first distance at the time of connection operation of connecting the cargo handling hose to the cargo handling object, and controlling the propulsion system so that the relative distance becomes a second distance larger than the first distance at the time of cargo handling operation of performing the cargo handling by the cargo handling hose.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】安定して荷役を行える燃料供給船を提供する。【解決手段】本願の一態様に係る燃料供給船は、船体と、船体を任意の方向に推進させる推進システムと、船体に設けられ、荷役対象との間で燃料の荷役を行う荷役ホースと、荷役対象に対する船体の相対位置を測定可能な測位システムと、荷役ホースを荷役対象に接続する接続作業時には荷役対象と船体との相対距離が第１距離となるように推進システムを制御し、荷役ホースによって荷役を行う荷役作業時には相対距離が第１距離よりも大きい第２距離となるように推進システムを制御する制御装置、を備えている。【選択図】図２
