What is the light color of Safe Water Marks?

The light color of Safe Water Marks is white. These marks are used to indicate that there is navigable water ahead and that it is safe to proceed. They are typically placed at the entrance of channels or in deep water, serving as a reference point for mariners.

Safe Water Marks also may display a configuration of lights or shapes, including a single red spherical shape, indicating that the mark is a buoy that indicates a safe passage. The use of white light for these marks ensures high visibility and easy recognition, especially in poor weather or low visibility conditions, allowing vessels to navigate safely. The choice of white is particularly important in maritime environments, as it stands out against various backgrounds, including water, land, and sky.
