Q

Which of the following penalties can be imposed for a violation of the "Vessel Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Act"?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Vessel Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Act purpose and who it regulates • Difference between penalties on a person (license holder or Master) vs on a vessel • How multiple types of penalties can be applied for a single violation

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask yourself: does this Act only deal with radio licenses, or does it also involve navigation safety and vessel operation responsibilities? • Think about who can be held responsible when a safety radio is misused or not used: the individual operator, the Master, and/or the vessel as an entity. • Consider whether U.S. maritime law often allows enforcement against just one party or several different parties at once for the same violation.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check whether the Act allows FCC-related actions (like suspension or revocation of a radio operator’s license). • Check whether the Act allows civil penalties against individuals such as the Master or person in charge. • Check whether the Act allows civil penalties against the vessel as a separate legal entity.
