🔍 Key Concepts

• IALA-A lateral buoyage system when entering from seaward • Difference between port-hand (left) and starboard-hand (right) buoys in IALA-A • Meaning of colors (red/green) and shapes (conical vs. can) on lateral buoys

💭 Think About

• When you are ENTERING from seaward in the IALA-A system, which color marks the starboard side of the channel and which color marks the port side? • For that system, which SHAPE (conical or can) is associated with each side of the channel? • Looking at the four buoys, which one matches the color and shape that belongs on the starboard side when you are coming in from sea?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are thinking of IALA-A (Europe, Africa, most of Asia) and NOT the IALA-B system used in the U.S. • Confirm which side of your vessel is starboard when entering and therefore which buoy you would physically "leave to starboard" as you pass it. • Match both color AND shape together (don’t choose based on only one of these).
