Question 1726Navigation General70% to pass
You are on a vessel at 0400 ZT on 3 July, and the ZD for your position is -8. What is the GMT?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2000, 2 July.
To determine the GMT, we need to convert the local time (0400 ZT on 3 July) to GMT using the time zone difference (ZD = -8). Since the ZD is negative, we subtract 8 hours from the local time to get the GMT. 0400 ZT on 3 July becomes 2000 on 2 July.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) 2000, 3 July is incorrect as it does not account for the time zone difference.
C) 1200, 2 July is incorrect as it does not account for the time zone difference.
D) 1200, 3 July is incorrect as it does not account for the time zone difference.
