Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #456 (Set 14)

How should latitude 54°18.9'N be written when preparing an AMVER report?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — 5419N

AMVER position formatting requires degrees and minutes without punctuation, rounded to the nearest minute, preceded by a three-digit latitude field and followed by the hemisphere designator. 54°18.9'N rounds up to 19 minutes, yielding 05419N.
