Question 468 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) 5419N. When preparing an AMVER (Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue System) report, latitudes are typically expressed in a specific format. The latitude 54°18.9'N should be written as 5419N, which represents 54 degrees and 19 minutes north. This format is commonly used in maritime navigation and reports to provide a concise and unambiguous way of expressing the vessel's location. The other options are incorrect because A) 54°N does not provide the full precision of the latitude, C) 0543N is not the correct format, and D) 54.3N represents the latitude in decimal degrees rather than degrees and minutes.
