Show the answer
Correct answer: b) Our starboard side.
Why it is correct
In Region A, entering, green marks are starboard-hand and stay to starboard. A spar shape does not change that.
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) That is red.
- c) It has a set side.
- d) Not that.
How to work it out in the exam
- Entering: green to starboard.
