Question 454 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) You should attempt to submit an AMVER report to NSA. The explanation is as follows: 1) The correct answer is D. When a General Emergency message is received, Chapter 8 of NGA (NIMA) PUB 117 provides guidance on how vessels should respond. One of the key instructions is to submit an AMVER (Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue) report to the National Security Agency (NSA). 2) Submitting an AMVER report allows the authorities to track the vessel's location and status, which is critical during a wartime emergency. This helps ensure the safety and security of the vessel and crew. 3) The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the specific guidance provided in NGA PUB 117, Chapter 8. For example, option B contradicts the directive to not enter ports in the danger zone, and options A and C do not mention the requirement to submit an AMVER report.
