Q

Which vessel(s) is(are) required to comply with the vessel bridge-to-bridge radiotelephone regulations while navigating?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR Part 26 – Vessel Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone • Specific vessel categories listed in 33 CFR 26.03 – Radiotelephone required • Differences between tonnage (gross tons), length in meters/feet, and type of service (passengers for hire, towing)

💭 Think About

• Look up which vessel types are explicitly named in 33 CFR 26.03 and compare each listed category to options A, B, and C. • Ask yourself: does the regulation cover just one of these categories, a combination of them, or several different vessel types at once? • Consider whether the regulation focuses only on size (length/tonnage), or also on the vessel’s service (passenger for hire, towing, etc.).

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 33 CFR 26.03 whether power-driven vessels ≥ 20 meters must comply. • Verify in 33 CFR 26.03 whether passenger vessels ≥ 100 gross tons carrying passengers for hire must comply. • Verify in 33 CFR 26.03 whether towing vessels ≥ 26 feet are included—and then decide if more than one option (A, B, C) is covered by the same rule.
