A marine radar system for surface navigation must be fitted on all ocean or coastwise vessels of over _______________.

A 1,400 GT
B 1,500 GT
C 1,600 GT
D 1,700 GT
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 1,600 GT. According to the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, all ocean or coastwise vessels over 1,600 gross tons (GT) must be fitted with a marine radar system for surface navigation. This requirement is specified in 46 CFR 164.72, which mandates the carriage of a radar system on vessels of this size to enhance navigational safety and situational awareness. The other answer choices (A, B, and D) are incorrect as they do not align with the actual regulatory requirement of 1,600 GT for the mandatory installation of a marine radar system on ocean or coastwise vessels.
