Question 256 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) exchange operating schedules with company dispatcher. Channel 13 (156.65 MHz) is the designated bridge-to-bridge communication channel, and it is reserved for navigational and safety communications between vessels. According to regulations, this channel may not be used for the exchange of routine operational information, such as schedules or communications with a company dispatcher. The other options (B, C, and D) are all considered appropriate uses of the bridge-to-bridge channel, as they involve the exchange of navigational information and necessary testing, which are the intended purposes of this designated frequency.
