A green can-shaped buoy typically indicates the port side of a navigational channel when entering from open water, in accordance with the IALA buoyage system. It is marked with a green color and usually features a topmark that resembles a flat top or is cylindrical. These buoys help mariners navigate safely by providing guidance on the correct side to pass when entering a harbor or navigating through channels.
