At a minimum the platform must include "T," "Four way," and 90 degree hallways, close quarter berthing, large open interior and redundant staterooms, hidden compartments that can accommodate weapons and possible stowaways. It must also have multiple internal and external maritime deck and bulkhead hatches, and ladder ways that the students must traverse, outside as well as inside stair ways, and railings. There should be various types of hatches, scuttles and watertight fittings. One should be able to look through to the lower levels of the exterior ladder platforms. Safety is of importance, with that said fire extinguishers, red and white lighting, and adequate ventilation for hot and humid climates, and a non-slip surface shall be incorporated in to the design of the platform. The SSTP should be capable of being moved and reconfigured if necessary. Engine compartment must have simulated engines, aft steering should simulate an actual aft steering compartment and the bridge simulate a bridge with entrance from port, starboard hatches and an interior door. The interior of the SSTP should simulate the inner workings of a large vessel to include piping and knee knocker hatches.
