This paper describes a study on ship name reading for small ships. It is very important to understand and to inspect the movements of other ships and the surrounding situations by using the AIS information, radar or watching and so on. Although AIS can provide useful informations for ships, small ships do not have the obligation to install AIS. However, identification of small ships is very important for safe sailings and traffic analyses on sea. Therefore, we aim at a constructing a system that reads ship names to identify them. To read ship names efficiently, it is extremely important to prepare a database of the ship names. Therefore, at the first step we construct a system that builds a database of the ship names by reading the text fields written on small ships and storing them. Then, based on the information we will elaborate a character string recognition system that specializes in the ship name recognition.
