Question 208 Deck Safety

70% to pass

Which of the following is a requirement if your bridge-to-bridge radiotelephone ceases to operate?

A immediately anchor your vessel and arrange for repairs to the system
B exercise due diligence to restore the system at the earliest practicable time
C moor your vessel at the nearest dock available and arrange for repairs to the system
D arrange for the repair of the system to be completed within 48 hours
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) exercise due diligence to restore the system at the earliest practicable time. This is the correct answer because under the regulations governing bridge-to-bridge radiotelephone communications, if the system ceases to operate, the vessel operator is required to exercise due diligence to restore the system as soon as possible, rather than being required to immediately anchor, moor, or complete repairs within a specified timeframe. The regulations focus on the vessel operator making a diligent effort to restore the system, rather than mandating specific actions. The other options are incorrect because they impose requirements that are not specified in the regulations, such as immediately anchoring, mooring, or completing repairs within 48 hours, which are not the correct legal obligations in this situation.
