Question 2855Deck General70% to pass
You are standing a radio watch aboard the rig. A crew boat calls you on VHF channel 16. When you reply with your vessel name and call letters, you should request the crew boat to switch to which of the following channels?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 10.
When communicating with a crew boat on VHF channel 16, which is the international distress, safety, and calling channel, you should request the crew boat to switch to a working channel, such as channel 10. This allows the distress and safety channel to remain clear for its intended purpose.
The other options are incorrect because: channel 6 is typically used for interfship communications, channel 12 is often used for port operations, and channel 14 is generally reserved for bridge-to-bridge communications. Switching to channel 10 is the appropriate action to take in this scenario to maintain efficient and orderly radio communications.
