The report provides a summary of a study sponsored by the Maritime Administration to develop and evaluate recommended improvements to the design, specification, installation, and operation of vessel steering systems for purposes of enhancing steering system reliability, safety, performance, and integrity. Conclusions and recommendations are based on the results of extensive analysis of steering systems failure data obtained from regulatory agencies, classification societies, and vessel owners and operators. Significant results include a quantitative assessment of the relationship between hydraulic system design pressure and system reliability, and the identification of specific rudder, steering gear, and control system design details which should be addressed or further clarified by the appropriate cognizant authorities.
