Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Q#459 (Set 14)

How should longitude 116°24.3'W be written when preparing an AMVER report?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — 11624W

AMVER position syntax dictates three digits for longitude degrees and two digits for minutes, with decimals omitted through standard rounding. 116°24.3'W retains 24 minutes, resulting in the correct code 11624W.
