Which SOLAS chapter and part deals with radio communications General?

• 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: (A)

Radiocommunications are addressed under SOLAS Chapter IV, which is dedicated to radiocommunications. The general provisions that apply to radio communications are found in Part A of that chapter. Part A sets the broad scope and basic requirements for radiocommunications, while Parts B and C handle more specific or technical aspects of equipment, installation, and operations. Chapter V concerns Safety of Navigation, not radio communications, so it doesn’t cover the general radio rules. So, for the general radio communications framework, SOLAS Chapter IV Part A is the correct reference.
