What is the primary purpose of the TELENOR services?

• A. To pass safety warnings beyond the range of NAVTEX broadcasts
• B. To provide vessel location data
• C. To broadcast weather charts
• D. To relay port schedules

Answer: (A)

TELENOR is meant to get safety warnings to ships that are outside the reach of NAVTEX broadcasts. NAVTEX covers a coastal zone, broadcasting navigational and weather warnings within a limited range. When vessels are beyond that range, TELENOR provides an alternative path to deliver urgent safety information, ensuring mariners still receive important warnings in time. It isn’t primarily about locating vessels, sending weather charts, or giving port schedules—those functions come from other services.
