General Navigation USCG Question #359 (Set 12)

Which type of daymark is used to mark the port side of the channel when entering from sea?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — Green square

The IALA-B system, utilized in US waters, mandates that green square daymarks designate the port side of a channel when entering from seaward. This follows the 'red right returning' convention, where green marks are kept to the port side when moving from the sea toward the interior.
