Correct Answer: Option A — SafetyNETTM
SafetyNET, an Inmarsat-C service, provides an automated, global method for broadcasting Maritime Safety Information (MSI) to vessels. It is the designated alternative for coastal areas where establishing a terrestrial NAVTEX network is geographically or economically unfeasible, ensuring continuous safety coverage as required by the IMO GMDSS master plan.
