Which VHF channel should be used in case of emergency or distress?

  1. 10

  2. 12

  3. 16

  4. 18

The correct answer is: 16

VHF channel 16 is internationally recognized as the distress and calling frequency. This allows for clear communication for emergency broadcasts and also allows nearby vessels to hear and potentially offer assistance. Option A, B, and D are all incorrect as they are not designated for emergency or distress calls. It is important to use the correct VHF channel in order to receive timely assistance and avoid any potential confusion or delay in responding to the emergency.
