Recently, due to an increase of sea accidents, it becomes more important to strengthen measures to ensuring the safe navigation of small craft. Generally speaking, a captain of small craft does not have much experience in safe navigation procedures. If such small crafts have the equipment to communicate with base stations on land or with other crafts sailing near them, it will be of great help for a captain of the small craft, compensating for their lack of experience in safe navigation. This paper proposes the use of a wireless LAN system on the sea to help captain of small craft to navigate safely. We carried out experiments of some wireless communications on the ad-hoc network constructed in Seto Inland Sea. From the experimental results, we found that wireless communication qualities on the sea are effected by changes in weather conditions and by the passing of large ships. In order to resolve these problems, this paper proposes a plan to use mobile agents which allow small craft to communicate with other stations even in severe wireless communication environments.
