An apparatus for displaying other ship targets is provided that displays the positions and detailed information concerning substantially all vessels present in a predetermined region around the own ship in a manner that is easy to grasp for the operator. A display screen includes Graphical Position Display Area 11, Target List Display Area 12 and Vessel Detail Information Display Area 13. A selected vessel of interest is displayed on Graphical Position Display Area 11 with Icon 102, and non-selected vessels are displayed by Icons 103 thereby making it possible to tell them apart.
