Stb und Bb

English translation: Starboard and port

German term or phrase: Stb und Bb
"Seewasser-Temperatur (je 1 Geber Stb und Bb)"

This is from the technical description of the loudspeaker system on a ship. I don't know what kind of ship, unfortunately.

Here is the surrounding text:

Der Anlagenteil SYNMET/NAV empfängt die folgenden Daten:
• Außenluft-Temperatur und Feuchte
• Außenluft-Druck
• Seewasser-Temperatur (je 1 Geber Stb und Bb)
• Wolkenhöhe
• Windwerte von 2 Gebern

"Bb" also appears in the following:

"Die SLA (Schiffslautsprecheranlage) besteht aus den folgenden 9 Lautsprecherkreisen:
...
Kreis 7, Anrufanlage Bb (Steuerstand)"

Any ideas?
