Which channel is noted for bridge-to-bridge navigation safety?

• A. Distress channel
• B. Bridge-to-bridge navigation safety
• C. Weather updates channel
• D. Public safety channel

Answer: (B)

Bridge-to-bridge navigation safety is handled on a dedicated VHF channel used to coordinate with bridge operators and other vessels as you approach or pass under a bridge. This channel is purpose-built for safety communications during bridge passages, helping you request clearance, report position, and confirm bridge status so traffic can move safely. The distress channel is reserved for emergencies, the weather updates channel provides meteorological information rather than navigation coordination, and the public safety channel is for general safety communications, not bridge-specific navigation.
