Default stopping a diesel

A friend just bought a yacth with twin Hino diesels. They are started by a key
switch but when they you want to shut them off you have to press a stop button
until the engines quit, then turn the keys off. I don't have much experience
with diesels but years ago when I had a job repairing forklifts I ran into a
similar situation.
This seems to me to be unecesaralary complicated. After all, most diesel
powered cars turn on and off with a key switch. I have asked many people this
question but have gotten answers that didn,t seem plausible. So now I'm asking
the experts.
Thoughts?
