70% to pass

If your vessel is equipped with a radiotelephone, what must also be aboard?

A Certificate of Inspection
B List of ship stations
C Copy of ship to shore channels
D Radio station license
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Radio station license. According to the regulations governing the use of radiotelephones on vessels, a radio station license issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) must be on board the vessel. This license authorizes the operation of the radio equipment and ensures compliance with FCC rules and regulations. The other options are incorrect because: A) the Certificate of Inspection is not required for the radiotelephone, B) the list of ship stations is not necessary, and C) the copy of ship-to-shore channels is not a mandatory requirement for the radiotelephone.
