NAVTEX is used for transmitting navigational and weather information.

• A. Navigational and weather warnings and forecasts
• B. Satellite voice communications
• C. Digital data links
• D. Emergency beacons

Answer: (A)

NAVTEX is a one-way broadcast system that delivers essential navigational and meteorological information to mariners. It transmits navigational warnings and weather forecasts to ships in its service area, allowing crews to receive important safety information without needing a two-way link. That description matches what NAVTEX is designed to provide. The other options refer to different kinds of communications: satellite voice communications are two-way voice links via satellite, digital data links are higher-bandwidth data channels for maritime data, and emergency beacons are distress signaling devices activated in emergencies.
