🔍 Key Concepts

• U.S. Aids to Navigation System – lateral marks and their shapes • Meaning of red and green horizontally-banded buoys with the topmost band red (preferred channel marks) • Shape significance of can buoys (cylindrical) vs nun buoys (conical) in the U.S. lateral system

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In the U.S. lateral system, which color is normally associated with conical (nun) buoys and which with cylindrical (can) buoys? • How does a horizontally-banded red/green buoy differ from a solid-color red or green buoy in both meaning and sometimes shape? • Does the topmost color on a horizontally-banded buoy affect its shape, or only its navigation meaning (which side is preferred)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in a U.S. Coast Pilot, Light List, or U.S. Aids to Navigation diagram how preferred channel (junction) buoys are depicted. • Confirm which side of the channel is marked by red nuns and which by green cans when returning from seaward in IALA Region B (U.S. system). • Check whether the shape of a red/green horizontally-banded buoy is prescribed (can vs nun) or whether it is listed as "shape optional / no significance".
