Q

Which maritime radio system, consisting of a series of coast stations, transmits coastal warnings?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Maritime safety information (MSI) broadcast systems • Difference between navigational warning services and specific message series like HYDROLANT/HYDROPAC • How coast stations automatically transmit text warnings to ships near the coast

💭 Think About

• Which option is the name of an actual radio system made up of shore-based (coast) transmitters, rather than a chart or message series? • Think about which system is specifically designed to send short, automatic text warnings (navigational and meteorological) to vessels near coasts. • Ask yourself: which of these do ships receive on a dedicated receiver that prints/displays coastal warnings without operator intervention?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is an automated broadcast service from shore stations, not a geographic area or message series. • Confirm which system is part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) for coastal warnings. • Check which one operates on MF/HF vs dedicated 518 kHz/490 kHz coastal broadcast frequencies.
