Question 1 of 27070

Diesel engine control can be obtained by the bridge __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Engine control transfer hierarchy between bridge and engine room • Role of a remote control system selector switch (engine control station selector) • Why safety and clear authority are critical when changing control stations

💭 Think About

• Think about what must happen so that only ONE place controls the engine at a time. How is that usually ensured? • Which option best prevents accidental, conflicting orders from the bridge and engine room? • On a well‑designed ship, when would the bridge legally/technically be allowed to take over engine control?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which station normally has primary control when the ship is in port or at the dock • Check which choice clearly indicates a deliberate transfer of control rather than automatic or informal control • Eliminate any option that would allow simultaneous or unauthorized control from more than one location
