Question 225 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) On the bridge or in the wheelhouse. The Vessel Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Act requires the radiotelephone station to be located on the bridge or in the wheelhouse of a vessel. This ensures the radiotelephone is easily accessible to the vessel's operator or pilot, allowing for clear communication between vessels as required by the Act. The other options are incorrect because: A) a separate radio compartment would not meet the Act's requirement for the station to be on the bridge/wheelhouse, B) the location relative to the power source is not specified in the Act, and D) the height of the station is not a factor in the Act's requirements.
