70% to pass

Which vessels must comply with the vessel bridge-to-bridge radiotelephone regulations while navigating?

A All towing vessels 26 feet in length or greater
B All power-driven vessels 12 meters or less in length
C All passenger vessels less than 100 gross tons
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) All towing vessels 26 feet in length or greater. The vessel bridge-to-bridge radiotelephone regulations, as outlined in 33 CFR 26, apply to all towing vessels 26 feet or more in length while navigating. These regulations require vessels to maintain a continuous watch on the designated bridge-to-bridge frequency, which allows for communication between nearby vessels to help prevent collisions. The other options are incorrect because the regulations do not apply to all power-driven vessels 12 meters or less in length (option B) or all passenger vessels less than 100 gross tons (option C). The regulations specifically target towing vessels 26 feet or greater in length, which is the most relevant requirement for this question.
