Module 06 - Markers and Buoys

Bifurcation Buoys

Part of the Lateral System, Bifurcation Buoys indicate the junction of two or more channels. You may pass on either side of these buoys when proceeding upstream but the preferred channel is indicated by the colour of the topmost band:

Port-Junction Bifurcation Buoy

Port-Junction Bifurcation Buoys are green in colour with a red horizontal band at the midsection. Port-Junction Buoys should be kept on the port (left) side of the vessel when navigating upstream.

Starboard-Junction Bifurcation Buoy

Starboard-Junction Bifurcation Buoys are red in colour with a green horizontal band at the midsection. Starboard-Junction Buoys should be kept on the starboard (right) side of the vessel when navigating upstream.
