Where does the SCS helm allow thrust control?

The SCS helm is the control station used for both steering and thrust, and it’s located in the Pilot House. This position gives the helmsman a clear view of the water and quick access to the throttle levers and steering wheel, so speed and direction can be adjusted smoothly while keeping watch on navigation and instruments. The Engine Room houses the engines and is not where you actively steer or control thrust, and the Chart Room is for planning rather than operating machinery. While the Bridge is the general control area on many ships, the SCS helm for thrust control is specifically placed in the Pilot House.
