Question 458 Deck Safety
70% to passYour voyage planning indicates you will arrive at a waypoint in longitude 149°16.3'E at 0947 ZT on 3 March 1988. How should this date be entered into an AMVER report?
The correct answer is B) 022347Z. The reason this is the correct answer is that the date and time provided in the question (0947 ZT on 3 March 1988) needs to be converted to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) for an AMVER report. Since the question states the time is in "ZT" (Zulu Time, which is the same as UTC), the date and time should be entered as 022347Z, where 02 is the date, 23 is the hour, and 47 is the minute in UTC. The other options are incorrect because they do not properly convert the date and time to the UTC format required for an AMVER report. Option A) 030947K MAR uses local time instead of UTC, option C) 234703Z has the time and date reversed, and option D) 094703K is also in local time instead of UTC.
