Which of the following organizations operate the AMVER system?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) U.S. Coast Guard.
The AMVER (Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue) system is operated by the U.S. Coast Guard. AMVER is a voluntary global ship reporting system used worldwide by search and rescue authorities to quickly locate vessels near distress situations. The U.S. Coast Guard manages and coordinates the AMVER system as part of its search and rescue responsibilities.
The other options are incorrect because the International Maritime Organization (IMO) does not directly operate AMVER, the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) is a classification society, and the United States Navy is a separate military branch that does not manage the AMVER system.
