In IALA Region A, what color is used for starboard lateral buoys?

In the IALA Region A buoyage system, starboard lateral buoys are colored green. These buoys indicate the right side of a navigational channel when approaching from seaward. The use of green for starboard buoys is established to provide consistency for mariners, ensuring that they can easily recognize the side of the channel that is safe to navigate on. This identification allows vessels to maintain safe navigation by keeping the green buoys to starboard as they enter harbors or navigate inland waterways. The clear color coding fosters safety and efficiency in maritime traffic.
