Which of the following statements on address...

🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) use of an address book in DSC/INMARSAT equipment • Different types of entries allowed: ship MMSIs, shore stations, public correspondence, and phone numbers • The meaning of "only" and whether address books are limited to ship or shore stations

💭 Think About

• Think about the full range of stations a GMDSS terminal might need to contact in an emergency or routine situation. Is it limited to shore stations, or also ship-to-ship? • Consider whether the equipment is designed to store both maritime identifiers (MMSIs) and standard telephone numbers, and what that implies about who can be called. • For each choice, ask yourself: could this type of entry logically appear in a DSC or INMARSAT address book used at sea?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether ship MMSI numbers can be stored and selected from an address book. • Check if shore-based telephone numbers (for automatic calls ashore) are a normal feature of GMDSS equipment. • Pay close attention to the word "only" in one of the options and decide if that limitation matches how GMDSS address books are actually used.
