AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) only after the engine room control station is switched to 'bridge control'. This is because the diesel engine control from the bridge can only be obtained after the engine room control station has been switched to 'bridge control' mode. This ensures proper coordination and handoff of control between the engine room and the bridge. The other options are incorrect because A) the chief engineer's approval is not required, C) the secondary station does not need to be in 'bridge control' mode, and D) the bridge cannot take control at any time without the engine room first being in 'bridge control' mode.
