Question 2687 Deck General

The correct answer is D) Twin-screw vessels that have operating station control for both engines. Vessels with twin-screw propulsion and operating station control for both engines are not required to have an internal communication system between the engine room and operating station. This is because the operator can directly control both engines from the operating station, eliminating the need for verbal communication between the engine room and operating station. The other answer choices (A, B, and C) would require an internal communication system, as the operator would need to be able to communicate with the engine room to coordinate towing operations, navigate on limited routes, or manage vessels serving a single company or facility.
