Question 261 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) VHF-FM service. Ship-to-shore telephone calls on VHF should be made using the VHF-FM service, as this is the designated frequency band for maritime voice communications. The VHF-FM service is the standard and required radio service for short-range communication between ships and between ships and shore stations in the maritime environment. The other options are incorrect because the high seas service is for long-range communication, the coastal harbor service is for local harbor operations, and the emergency broadcast service is specifically for distress and safety communications, not general ship-to-shore telephone calls.
