The southern boundary of the Red Sea special area under 33 CFR §151.06 is defined by a rhumb line between Ras si Ane and Husn Murad. Which of the following correctly states the latitude of Ras si Ane?

  1. A. 11°50′ N
  2. 12°08.5′ NCorrect
  3. C. 12°28.5′ N
  4. D. 12°40.4′ N

Why B is correct

33 CFR §151.06(a)(4) gives the coordinates of Ras si Ane as 12°8.5′ N, 43°19.6′ E for the southern boundary of the Red Sea area. 12°28.5′ N is the latitude of Ras si Ane as used in the Gulf of Aden boundary (§151.06(a)(6)), and 12°40.4′ N is the latitude of Husn Murad — both are plausible distractors drawn directly from the regulation.
