If someone else is at the helm of your ship and you step up behind/beside them, the little green circle appears under the wheelstand and you are asked if you want to take the wheel. Try it.
I was on a ship where it indicated the "owner" had gone offline, and the ship was just sitting there with no one at the helm. I went and took the wheel and headed for the nearest civilized island, figuring this was the considerate thing to do. Almost immediately the owner - who apparently hadn't gone offline, or else had made a quick come-back - stepped up and grabbed the helm and I was out of there.
