Question 1 of 27070

Equipment for radiotelephony use in survival craft stations under GMDSS must have what capability?

🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS survival craft radiotelephone requirements in SOLAS Chapter IV • Difference between marine VHF channels and aeronautical distress frequencies • Historical (older) survival craft frequencies vs current GMDSS standards

💭 Think About

• Which of these options is actually a standard marine VHF channel used for distress, safety, and calling under GMDSS? • Which listed frequencies are primarily associated with aviation or with older non‑GMDSS survival craft equipment? • Under GMDSS, would you expect survival craft radios to talk on the same distress/calling channel as ship and coast stations, or on a unique, little‑used frequency?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which choice corresponds to VHF Channel 16 (156.8 MHz), the primary distress/calling channel in GMDSS. • Identify which option is an aeronautical emergency frequency rather than a marine GMDSS frequency. • Consider whether GMDSS survival craft radios are required to be interoperable with ship and SAR units on VHF rather than using a special standalone frequency.
