Short cut to steering failure

摘要

The grounding occurred when the ship was being piloted out of port with a bridge team consisting of the pilot, the master, the third mate and a helmsman. The third mate stood by the main engine telegraph, ready to relay engine requests to the engine room and the helmsman was at the steering stand. The helmsman had earlier checked that he had steering control by confirming the rudder angle indicator responded to the change of helm.
