How long must GMDSS Radio Logs be retained by the licensee when they relate to a distress situation or disaster?

A 2 years
B 6 months
C 1 year
D 3 years
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 3 years. GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) radio logs that relate to a distress situation or disaster must be retained by the licensee for a period of 3 years, as per the regulations set by the U.S. Coast Guard. This requirement is in place to ensure that critical records are available for any necessary investigations or reviews that may occur in the aftermath of a maritime emergency. The other options are incorrect as they do not meet the 3-year retention period mandated by the Coast Guard for these types of GMDSS radio logs.
