Question 222Deck Safety70% to pass
Which is a requirement for any person maintaining a listening watch on a bridge-to- bridge radiotelephone?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) speak English.
According to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 47, Part 80 - Stations in the Maritime Services, any person maintaining a listening watch on a bridge-to-bridge radiotelephone is required to be able to speak English. This is because the bridge-to-bridge radiotelephone is used for navigational safety communications between vessels, and English is the international standard language for maritime communications.
The other options are incorrect because: B) speaking a language the vessel's crew will understand is not a universal requirement, C) repairing the unit is a maintenance duty, not a requirement for the watchstander, and D) sending Morse code is not a requirement for bridge-to-bridge radiotelephone operations.
