6 Regulation 37 - Communication between navigating bridge and machinery space

  Regulation 37

At least two independent means shall be provided for communicating orders from the navigating bridge to the position in the machinery space or in the control room from which the engines are normally controlled: one of these shall be an engine-room telegraph which provides visual indication of the orders and responses both in the machinery spaces and on the navigating bridge. The second means of communication shall be independent of the engine-room telegraph and shall also provide for verification of engine orders and responses. A means of communication which provides for verification of both engine orders and responses shall also be provided from the navigating bridge and the engine-room to any other position from which the speed or direction of thrust of the propellers may be controlled.
