How long must GMDSS Radio Logs be retained onboard the ship in original form?

A 3 months
B 6 months
C 30 days
D 1 year
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 30 days. According to the regulations governing the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), the GMDSS radio logs must be retained onboard the ship in their original form for a minimum of 30 days. This requirement is specified in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations. The other options are incorrect because 3 months (A) and 1 year (D) are not the mandated retention period, while 6 months (B) is longer than the 30-day requirement.
