Question 56Navigation General

You are correct, the maritime radio system consisting of a series of coast stations transmitting coastal warnings is called NAVTEX. NAVTEX is an international automated medium-frequency direct-printing service for the distribution of navigational and meteorological warnings, meteorological forecasts, and other urgent maritime safety information to ships. It is one of the primary means by which the U.S. Coast Guard and other national maritime authorities broadcast this critical information to mariners. The other answer choices are incorrect because: NAVAREA refers to a high seas navigational warning system, HYDROLANT/HYDROPAC are high seas hydrographic broadcast systems, and SAFESEA is not an actual maritime radio system.
