Q

Port side daymarks may be __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Lateral buoyage system (IALA B) for U.S. waters • Characteristics of port side aids to navigation (colors, shapes, numbers) • Difference between daymarks and buoys

💭 Think About

• Think about how you recognize the port side of a channel when returning from sea in U.S. waters. What color and numbering do you associate with port side aids? • Consider whether shapes of fixed daymarks are standardized or if some shapes are associated with specific sides of the channel. • Look at each option and ask: does this describe a standard identifying feature of port side daymarks, or something more general?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what color and number pattern is used for port side vs starboard side aids in the U.S. lateral system. • Check whether shape is prescribed for port side daymarks or if only color/number are critical identifiers. • Confirm which feature(s) in the options are specifically tied to port side daymarks, not just any aid to navigation.
