Question 267 Deck Safety

70% to pass

Marine Safety Information is promulgated via satellite through which system?

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

The correct answer is C) SafetyNET. SafetyNET is the international system for broadcasting Maritime Safety Information (MSI) via satellite. MSI, including navigational and meteorological warnings, is promulgated globally through the SafetyNET system, which utilizes the INMARSAT satellite network. This makes SafetyNET the primary system for disseminating important marine safety information to vessels at sea. The other options are incorrect because: NAVTEX is a terrestrial system for broadcasting coastal MSI, INMARSAT-M SES is a mobile satellite communication system, and AMVER is a voluntary ship reporting system, not a means of disseminating MSI.
