Show the answer

Correct answer: c) Is a mark placed on a danger with navigable water around it.

Why it is correct

It is placed on a danger, and the water around it is navigable. You simply keep clear.

IALA World Regions: Region A covers Europe (including Spain), Africa, Oceania and Asia (except Japan, South Korea and the Philippines); when entering from seaward, keep RED (can) marks to PORT and GREEN (cone) marks to STARBOARD. Region B covers the Americas (North, Central and South), Japan, South Korea and the Philippines; lateral colours are reversed (GREEN to port and RED to starboard when entering), while keeping the same shapes (can to port, cone to starboard) and identical cardinal, isolated danger, safe water and special marks.

Why the others are not

  • a) It sets no 200 m distance.
  • b) This is the opposite of the definition.
  • d) The danger is at the mark, not to the north.
