Claim 14:
15. A hull behavior control system for controlling behavior of a hull of a marine vessel, the hull behavior control system comprising:
a memory; and
at least one controller coupled to the memory and configured or programmed to:
control a posture of the hull;
obtain a water surface shape around the marine vessel;
estimate movement of a wave based on the obtained water surface shape; and
when it is determined that an impact force equal to or greater than a threshold value will act on the hull after the hull travels over the wave whose movement has been estimated, change the posture of the hull so as to reduce the impact force; wherein

the at least one controller is configured or programmed to not change the posture of the hull when it is determined that a change of the posture of the hull results in the marine vessel going into a wave next to the wave whose movement has been estimated, even when it is determined that the impact force equal to or greater than the threshold value will act on the hull after the hull travels over the wave whose movement has been estimated.
