What is the report identifier code for the first AMVER report sent at the start of a voyage?

A PR
B DR
C DP
D SP
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) SP. The SP report identifier code stands for "Sailing Plan" and is the report identifier for the first AMVER (Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue System) report sent at the start of a voyage. This report contains key information about the vessel, its intended route, and departure details to help facilitate search and rescue operations if needed. The other options are incorrect - PR stands for "Position Report", DR stands for "Deviation Report", and DP stands for "Depart Port" - none of which specifically identify the first report sent at the start of a voyage.
