🔍 Key Concepts

• IALA Buoyage System and the difference between Region A and Region B • Meaning of a red, can-shaped lateral mark when ENTERING a harbor in Region A • The phrase often used to remember which side to keep red buoys on when entering from seaward

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is the coast of Africa in IALA Region A or Region B? How does that affect what red buoys mark (port or starboard side of the channel)? • Think: When you are ENTERING a port in that region, on which side of your vessel should you keep a red, can-shaped buoy to stay in the main channel? • Consider whether there is any requirement to pass a buoy "close aboard" or whether normal good seamanship suggests giving buoys some clearance if possible.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that Africa uses IALA Region A buoyage (not Region B). • Verify in Region A whether red lateral marks identify the port-hand side of the channel when entering from seaward. • Check that none of the options force you to pass a buoy unnecessarily close if there is a safer standard alternative.
