Question 157 Deck Safety

70% to pass

Messages concerning weather conditions transmitted by radiotelephone are preceded by _______________.

A MAYDAY
B SOS
C PAN-PAN
D SECURITE
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) SECURITE. According to the regulations governing the U.S. Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, messages concerning weather conditions transmitted by radiotelephone are preceded by the word "SECURITE" (pronounced say-cure-ee-tay). This is the internationally recognized radiotelephone procedure signal used to indicate that the message contains important navigational or weather-related safety information. The other options are incorrect because they have different meanings - MAYDAY indicates a distress situation, SOS is the Morse code distress signal, and PAN-PAN indicates an urgency situation, but not specifically weather-related information.
