White buoy with orange bands and an orange diamond, what does that mean?
A sign with an orange diamond and cross means that boats must stay out of the area.The reason for the restriction is given by the black lettering on the buoy or sign.A white buoy or sign with an orange diamond warns boaters of danger.
What do the different buoys mean?There are buoy, beacon, and marks.The IALA buoyage system is used in navigation to mark the edge channels.The road signs on the water are made up of five different buoy types.There are markers that indicate where safe water is.
A port hand day beacon, which has a black or green square, centred on a white background with a green reflective border, must be kept on the port side when going upstream.The number will be odd if it is numbered.
The port and starboard hand buoys are different colors.They show which side of a channel is the safest to travel on.When going upstream, red buoy must be on the right side of the craft.
