Which Part covers Ship requirements in radio communications?

• A. SOLAS Chapter IV Part A
• B. SOLAS Chapter IV Part B
• C. SOLAS Chapter IV Part C
• D. SOLAS Chapter V Part A

Answer: (C)

Understanding where SOLAS assigns the ship’s radio equipment requirements helps you see why this Part is the one that matters. SOLAS Chapter IV governs radiocommunications, and its Part C focuses specifically on shipboard radio installations and equipment—the hardware the vessel must carry, the standards those installations must meet, and how they’re maintained and certified. That focus on the ship’s own radio gear is why this Part is the correct choice for ship requirements in radio communications. The other parts deal with broader provisions or with how radiocommunications are operated rather than the hardware on board, and Chapter V Part A sits outside this chapter and does not cover radio installations.
