- CAn illuminated rudder angle indicator at the emergency steering station
- DSimple operating instructions with a block diagram for steering gear changeover at the emergency steering station
Why B is correct
33 CFR §164.35(o) requires a telephone or other means of communication for relaying headings to the emergency steering station for all vessels, and additionally requires that each vessel of 500 gross tons and over constructed on or after June 9, 1995 be provided with arrangements for supplying visual compass-readings to the emergency steering station. Option D is required by §164.35(k) but must be displayed in the steering gear compartment and on the navigating bridge, not specifically described as the additional 500 GT requirement.
