Which description matches a bridge-to-bridge station?

• A. A satellite-based shore-to-ship link
• B. A MF-HF transceiver
• C. A VHF radio station located on a ship's navigational bridge or main control station that is used only for navigational communications
• D. An emergency distress channel

Answer: (C)

Bridge-to-bridge communications are done with a VHF radio that is located on the ship’s navigational bridge (or main control station) and is dedicated to exchanging navigational information with other vessels or shore stations. This is exactly what the description describes: a VHF radio on the bridge or main control used only for navigational communications. It’s not about long-range satellite links or MF-HF gear, and it’s not the distress channel, which is reserved for emergencies.
