To provide a vessel and a vessel mooring system capable of safely and easily mooring.SOLUTION: A vessel 100 includes a plurality of hulls 10, a body to be supported 30 supported by the plurality of hulls 10, a hull direction changing unit 50 for connecting the plurality of hulls 10 and the body to be supported 30, and a propulsion device 70. A direction a front unit of the vessel face is a vessel bow direction HD, a direction extending a bow-stern line of each hull 10 is to be each hull bow direction DF of each hull 10, the hull direction changing unit 50 is capable of changing the hull bow directions DF of the hulls 10, some hulls 10 among the plurality of hulls 10 are to be hulls for mooring 10X, and an action to move a position of the vessel so that the hulls for mooring 10X are brought closer to a mooring position MP is a mooring action, the mooring action including movement in the direction crossing the hull bow direction DF of the hulls for mooring 10.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11 【課題】安全かつ容易に係留することができる船舶および船舶係留システムを提供する。【解決手段】船舶１００は、複数の船体１０と、複数の船体１０に支持される被支持体３０と、複数の船体１０と被支持体３０とを接続する、船体方向変更部５０と、推進装置７０と、を備え、自船の前部が向く方向を船舶船首方向ＨＤとし、各船体１０の船首尾線を船首側に延ばした方向を各船体１０のそれぞれの船体船首方向ＤＦとし、船体方向変更部５０は、船体１０の船体船首方向ＤＦを変更可能であり、複数の船体１０のうち、一部の船体１０を係留用船体１０Ｘとし、係留用船体１０Ｘを係留位置ＭＰに接近させるように自船の位置を移動させる動作を係留動作として、係留動作は、係留用船体１０の船体船首方向ＤＦに対して交差する方向への移動を含む。【選択図】図１１
