The operation of the means of communication between the bridge and steering
compartment

• All officers who are concerned with the operation test or maintenance of the
steering gear should acquaint themselves with the changeover procedure.

• It is a requirement to have log entries to record that emergency steering gear

drills have been carried out every 3 months.

1. The Main Steering Gear (which includes testing power supply from the bridge
and the steering gear room, to steering motors 1, 2 and 1+2 together to be done on
main power supply, including visual inspection of the steering gear and its
connecting linkages to be carried out in the steering gear compartment.)

2. The Auxiliary Steering Gear – (Solas Part-C, Reg: 29-6.1 on page-115)

(Quote-29-6.1-Where the main steering gear comprises two or more identical power
units, an auxiliary steering gear need not be fitted provided that : 29-6.1.2-in cargo
ships, the main steering gear is capable of operating the rudder as required by
paragraph 3.2 while operating with all power units.

Reg 29-3.2-The steering gear and rudder stock shall be-Capable of putting the
rudder over from 35 deg: on one side to 35 deg: on the other side with the ship at
its deepest draught and running ahead at maximum service speed and, under the
same conditions, from 35 deg on either side to 30 deg on the other side in not more
than 28 seconds.)

(MOST OF OUR CARGO SHIPS COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE SO AUXILLARY STEERING
GEAR MAY NOT BE FITTED-check for your vessel).

3. The Remote Steering Control System- (which includes testing from the bridge
wings or other locations where steering controls are located (other than the main
steering position on the bridge) using steering motors 1, 2 and 1+2 together, main
power.)

4. The Main Steering Position On The Bridge- (which includes testing from the
bridge using steering motors 1, 2 and 1+2 together, telemotors 1 and 2, the main
follow up steering and the non follow up steering, all to be done on main power.)
TESTING THE UNITS FROM WHERE THE HELSMAN NORMALLY STEERS.

5. The Emergency Power Supply- (which includes identifying which steering gear
motor is supplied by the emergency power supply followed by testing steering from
the bridge on emergency supply. On many ships this is possible without actually
making back-out)

6. The Rudder Angle Indicator In Relation To The Actual Rudder Position-( The
engineer in the steering gear compartment will check and report to the bridge the
position of the rudder in the steering gear room which is compared with the position
shown on the rudder angle indicator.

At this time communications can also be checked by used the main and standby
communication systems)

7. The Remote Steering Gear Control System Power Failure Alarms-(Alarms fitted on
the steering consol or on the bridge consol indicating failure of remote steering etc:)

8. The Steering Gear Power Unit Failure Alarms-(Solas part-C reg:30-page 119)
(Audible and visual alarms on the bridge/engine control room as fitted)

9. Automatic Isolating Arrangements- (Solas part c- 29.16—page-117)

Quote-Reg-16--Every tanker, chemical tanker or gas carrier of 10,000gross tonnage

and upwards shall, subject to paragraph 17, comply with the following:-2.2……Loss
of hydraulic fluid from one system shall be capable of being detected and the
defective system automatically isolated so that the other actuating system or
systems shall remain fully operational. NOT NORMALLY FITTED ON CARGO SHIPS-
check for your vessel.

Time Hard over to Hard over must not exceed 28 Sec:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regulation 29.3

29.3 The main steering gear and rudder stock shall be:

.1 of adequate strength and capable of steering the ship at maximum ahead service
speed

which shall be demonstrated;

.2 capable of putting the rudder over from 35° on one side to 35° on the other side
with the

ship at its deepest seagoing draught and running ahead at maximum ahead service

speed and under the same conditions, from 35° on either side to 30° on the other
side

in not more than 28 s.

.3 operated by power where necessary to meet the requirements of paragraph 3.2

and in

any case when the Administration requires a rudder stock of over 120 mm diameter
in

way of the tiller, excluding strengthening for navigation in ice;

.4 so designed that they will not be damaged at maximum astern speed; however,
this

design requirement need not be proved by trials at maximum astern speed and

maximum rudder angle.

Regulation 29.4

29.4 The auxiliary steering shall be:

.1 of adequate strength and capable of steering the ship at navigable speed and of
being

brought speedily into action in an emergency;

.2 capable of putting the rudder over from 15° on one side to 15° on the other side
in not

more than 60 s with the ship at its deepest sea-going draught and running ahead at
one

half of the maximum ahead service speed or 7 knots, whichever is the greater; and

.3 operated by power where necessary to meet the requirements of paragraph 4.2

and in

any case when the Administration requires a rudder stock of over 230 mm diameter
in

way of the tiller, excluding strengthening for navigation in ice.
