Question 213 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) every power-driven vessel of 20 meters and upward while navigating. The Vessel Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Act applies to every power-driven vessel of 20 meters or more in length while navigating. This Act requires vessels to maintain a continuous listening watch on the designated bridge-to-bridge radiotelephone channel, which allows vessels to communicate their positions and intentions to one another. The other options are incorrect because the Act does not apply to aircraft (option A), towing vessels of 16 feet or over (option C), or vessels of 50 GT and upward carrying persons for hire (option D). The Act is specifically focused on power-driven vessels of 20 meters or more in length.
