Question 462 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) 48 hours. According to the AMVER (Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue System) regulations, after the initial position report sent by a foreign-sailing vessel, subsequent position reports must be sent no less frequently than every 48 hours. This ensures that the vessel's location is updated regularly, allowing the AMVER system to effectively coordinate potential rescue efforts if needed. The other options are incorrect because A) 24 hours is too frequent, B) 36 hours is not a standard reporting interval, and D) Monday, Wednesday, and Friday is a fixed schedule rather than a minimum reporting frequency.
