Chapter 1 Standard Orders on Board Vessel 1．Helm (Wheel) Orders When a ship proceeds at sea or into a harbor, is should be steered with great care. The pilot or the captain gives the helm orders to the steersman. The steersman must repeat and carry out all the orders correctly and immediately. When the orders have been carried out, the steersman must report the fact and the course being steered. The steersman is never allowed to mistake the starboard helm for the port helm and vice versa. A little carelessness may cause great damage or loss.
