Question 266 Deck Safety

70% to pass

Which satellite system promulgated Maritime Safety Information?

A NAVTEX
B INMARSAT-M SES
C SafetyNET
D AMVER
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) SafetyNET. SafetyNET is the satellite-based system that promulgates Maritime Safety Information (MSI) to ships at sea. MSI includes navigational and meteorological warnings, forecasts, and other urgent safety information. SafetyNET is an integral part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) and is regulated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to ensure the effective dissemination of critical maritime safety information worldwide. The other options are incorrect because: NAVTEX is a terrestrial system for transmitting MSI, INMARSAT-M SES is a mobile satellite communication system, and AMVER is a voluntary ship reporting system, not a satellite-based information service.
