🔍 Key Concepts

• IALA Maritime Buoyage System and what yellow special marks are used for • Difference between a shape/topmark and lettering or symbols on a buoy • How chart symbols show special purpose buoys and how they’re identified in practice

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: in the real world, which feature on a buoy practically tells you exactly what its purpose is (spoils, anchorage, cables, military area), rather than just that it is a generic special mark? • Consider how the IALA system uses color + light rhythm + topmark versus how it uses names, numbers, or letters to distinguish one special area from another. • Think about which choices describe standardized topmarks under the buoyage system and which describe something that can be customized for the particular area.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which answer choices (A, B, C) correspond to actual IALA topmark shapes for special marks (if any). • Check on a nautical chart legend how special purpose buoys are labeled—do they rely more on topmarks or on letters/names to show the exact area type? • Make sure you distinguish between a mark that says “this is a special mark” and a feature that tells you which specific special purpose it serves.
