Your voyage planning indicates you will arrive at a waypoint in longitude 049°16.3' W at 0947 ZT on 3 March 1988. How should this date be entered into an AMVER report?

A 031247Z
B 309473
C 030947P
D 124733 MAR
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 031247Z. This is the correct format for entering the date and time into an AMVER report. The first two digits (03) represent the date, the next four digits (1247) represent the time in Zulu (UTC) time, and the final letter (Z) indicates that the time is in Zulu time. The other options are incorrect because: B) 309473 is not a valid AMVER report format. C) 030947P does not use the proper Zulu time format. D) 124733 MAR does not correctly represent the date and time in the required AMVER report format.
