Failure to comply with, or enforce, the provisions of the "Vessel Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Act" can result in which of the following?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) civil penalty charged against the person in charge of the vessel.
The Vessel Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Act requires vessels to maintain a continuous listening watch on the designated bridge-to-bridge radiotelephone channel. Failure to comply with the provisions of this Act can result in a civil penalty charged against the person in charge of the vessel, which is typically the Master or Captain. The penalty amount is set at $1,500, as specified in the Act.
The other answer choices are incorrect because option A) refers to a civil penalty, which is correct, but the amount is not specified. Options B) and C) mention a criminal penalty, which is not the consequence for violating the Vessel Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Act.
