of this section, must have an electric or mechanical engine order 

telegraph system from the navigating bridge to the engineroom.

must have this system.

    (c) On a double-ended vessel that has two navigating bridges, this 

system must be between the engineroom and each navigating bridge.

    (d) If a small vessel has no engine order telegraph system between 

the navigating bridge and the engineroom, the propulsion plant must be 

controlled entirely from the navigating bridge, with no means of normal 

engine control from the engineroom.

    (e) On vessels equipped with pilothouse control, each local control 

station in the engineroom must have an indicator if:

    (1) Manual operation from the local control station is an 

alternative means of control; and

    (2) The local control station is not immediately adjacent to the 

engineroom control station; and

    (3) Reliable voice communication and calling that meets the 

requirements of Sec.  113.30-5(h) is not provided.

    (f) Engine order telegraph and remote propulsion control systems 

must be electrically separate and independent, except that a single 

mechanical operator control device with separate transmitters and 

connections for each system may be used.
