When entering a channel from seaward, which is TRUE concerning the numbers on buoys?

🔍 Key Concepts

• IALA-B buoyage system used in the United States • How red (starboard) and green (port) buoys are numbered when entering from seaward • Difference between buoy numbers and Light List numbers

💭 Think About

• When you are coming IN from sea, which side of the channel are the red buoys on, and are they odd or even numbered? • As you proceed farther into the channel (toward the harbor), do buoy numbers go up or down? • Are the numbers printed on the buoy necessarily the same as the Light List number, or is the Light List a separate reference system?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in your study material how IALA-B defines numbering for red and green buoys when returning from seaward • Confirm whether buoy numbers increase or decrease as you move landward in a channel • Check that Light List numbers are a catalog reference and not automatically the same as the number painted on the buoy
