Which Inmarsat Earth stations would be used for Inmarsat-B traffic if the vessel is off the Atlantic Coast of the United States and tracking the AOR-E satellite?

The correct choice indicates Southbury (USA), Burum (Netherlands), or EIK (Norway) as the Inmarsat Earth stations for Inmarsat-B traffic when the vessel is off the Atlantic Coast of the United States and tracking the AOR-E satellite. This is appropriate because AOR-E is positioned to provide coverage primarily over the eastern Atlantic and parts of the Americas, and these stations are strategically located to facilitate service to vessels operating in that region.

Southbury, being in the United States, serves as a direct point for vessels in North American waters. Meanwhile, Burum and EIK provide essential coverage from Europe, ensuring that vessels have continuous connectivity as they navigate both near and far from shore. The combination of these stations supports reliable communication, which is crucial for maritime operations.

The other choices, while they may include some stations that can service different regions or satellites, do not align specifically with the coverage needs for vessels off the Atlantic Coast utilizing the AOR-E satellite for Inmarsat-B traffic.
