The first AMVER position report must be sent within how many hours of departure?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 24 hours.
The AMVER (Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue System) position report must be sent within 24 hours of departure, as per the regulations set by the U.S. Coast Guard. This requirement ensures that vessels can be quickly located and assisted in the event of an emergency or distress situation.
The other options are incorrect because 12 hours is too short, 36 hours is too long, and 48 hours is significantly longer than the required 24-hour timeframe for the first AMVER position report.
