🔍 Key Concepts

• Inmarsat Ocean Regions (AOR‑E, AOR‑W, IOR, POR) and which one covers the Mediterranean Sea • The role of Land Earth Stations (LES) / Coast Earth Stations in handling Inmarsat‑C distress alert relay and update • How the geographical location of an LES usually matches the ocean region it serves (e.g., Europe vs. Asia vs. Americas)

💭 Think About

• First, identify which Inmarsat Ocean Region covers the Mediterranean Sea when a ship is logged into AOR‑E. Then, think about which countries are near or within that region. • Look at each answer choice and ask: do these LES locations make sense for a ship in the Eastern Atlantic / European region rather than in the Indian or Pacific regions? • Consider which LES locations you would normally expect to handle traffic for European waters and the Mediterranean, versus those that are clearly oriented toward Asian or Pacific coverage.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which Inmarsat Ocean Region (AOR‑E, AOR‑W, IOR, POR) corresponds to Europe and the Mediterranean. • Check which listed LES locations are actually in or near Europe and typically associated with AOR‑E coverage. • Eliminate any choices that mostly list stations clearly associated with Indian Ocean (IOR) or Pacific (POR) coverage rather than AOR‑E.
