Question 206Deck Safety70% to pass
Which of the following is True if your radiotelephone fails while underway?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) the loss of the radiotelephone must be considered in navigating the vessel.
This is correct because, according to regulations, if a vessel's radiotelephone fails while underway, the master must take this into account when navigating the vessel. The vessel is still required to safely reach its destination, but the loss of the radio communication capabilities must be factored into the navigation plan.
The other options are incorrect because: A) anchoring is not required, C) visually signaling is not mandatory, and D) the vessel does not have to immediately tie up at the nearest port, as long as the navigation is adjusted to account for the radio failure.
