70% to pass

The Daily Memorandum contains information on _______________.

A scheduled vessel arrivals and departures for a 24-hour period
B the latest navigational warnings
C active weather disturbances such as hurricanes or tropical storms
D water levels at river ports where run-off affects tidal heights
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) the latest navigational warnings. The Daily Memorandum, also known as the Local Notice to Mariners, is published daily by the U.S. Coast Guard and contains the latest information on navigational warnings, including changes to aids to navigation, hazards to navigation, and other vital information for safe navigation. This is the primary purpose of the Daily Memorandum, as it ensures mariners are aware of the latest updates that could affect their voyages. The other answer choices, while relevant to mariners, are not the primary focus of the Daily Memorandum. Vessel arrival and departure schedules (A), water levels (D), and weather disturbances (C) may be included in the publication, but they are not the main purpose, which is to convey the latest navigational warnings.
