Question 94 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D. The reason is that INMARSAT or HF SITOR equipment partially satisfies the carriage requirement for vessels operating in Sea Area A3, which covers the high seas and areas outside the coverage of Sea Areas A1 and A2. To fully satisfy the carriage requirement in Sea Area A3, vessels must have both INMARSAT and HF SITOR equipment, or an approved alternative. The other options are incorrect because: A) INMARSAT equipment is not required in Sea Area A4, which covers the polar regions; B) the equipment is not required at all times regardless of the sea area; and C) the equipment only partially satisfies the requirement in Sea Area A2, which is closer to shore.
