🔍 Key Concepts

• IALA buoyage system (Region A and B) basic principles • How shape, color, numbers, and letters are each used to distinguish buoys • Difference between lateral marks and other buoy types (safe water, special marks, etc.)

💭 Think About

• Think about what the shape of a buoy usually tells you, versus what its color or markings tell you. • Ask yourself: which of these options is something that is specifically used to distinguish one buoy from another of the same type? • Consider whether a spherical buoy of different purposes could share certain features (like color), and what feature would still let you tell them apart individually.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which buoy characteristics can be shared by many buoys (e.g., same color) versus which make a buoy unique (e.g., numbers or letters). • Recall that shape and color indicate type/side of channel, while numbers/letters identify individual buoys. • Confirm from your study material how lateral marks are designated on charts and buoy hulls (by numbers or by letters?).
