Question 226 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) All of the above. The Vessel Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Act states that the exclusive use of the radiotelephone on a vessel is granted to the master or person in charge of the vessel, a person designated by the master, or a person on board to pilot the vessel. This ensures that communication on the radiotelephone is limited to those responsible for the safe navigation and operation of the vessel. The other options are incorrect because they do not encompass the full scope of who has exclusive use of the radiotelephone as defined in the Act. Options A, B, and C each describe a subset of the individuals authorized, but the correct answer is that all of these parties have the exclusive use of the radiotelephone.
