What system can provide an automated service in coastal waters where it may not be feasible to establish the NAVTEX service or where shipping density is too low to warrant its implementation?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — SafetyNETTM
SafetyNET serves as the primary satellite-based alternative to NAVTEX for promulgating Maritime Safety Information. It is utilized in coastal waters where low shipping density or geographical constraints prevent the installation of terrestrial NAVTEX transmitters, maintaining the integrity of the GMDSS safety net for all vessels at sea.
