Show the answer
Correct answer: b) To our port
Why it is correct
Green Fl(2+1) is the preferred channel to port mark. It is left to starboard like a green, so the main channel lies to our port.

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.
