SafetyNETTM messages can be received by which of the following shipboard equipment?

Correct Answer: Option C — EGC receiver

The EGC receiver is the specific hardware component required to process SafetyNET broadcasts within the Inmarsat-C system. It allows for the reception of addressed or geographic-area-specific messages, ensuring that critical Maritime Safety Information reaches the vessel effectively, as mandated by the IMO GMDSS carriage requirements for satellite communications.
