Marca lateral de Babor…Port hand lateral mark...
Show the answer
Correct answer: a) Red can buoy, with a red can topmark.
Why it is correct
In Region A, the port mark is red, with a red can as topmark.
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
- b) Green with a cone is the starboard mark.
- c) The cone belongs to starboard, never to a red mark.
- d) Red carries a can, not a cone.
How to work it out in the exam
- Port: red and can. Starboard: green and cone. They never mix.
