They should be passed on the starboard side when going upstream.
Under the Inland Rules, red buoys should be passed on your starboard side when going upstream. They mark the left hand side (port) of the navigable channel when you are 'outbound,' and they will be on your right had side (starboard) when you are 'inbound.' (RED = RIGHT = RETURN)

When leaving the harbor, the red buoys should be on your left. When returning, on the right. "Red right returning". So if you are going away from land, the buoys will mark the left side of the channel, toward land, the right.
In the United States, when you are outbound for sea you would have red buoys (even numbered) on your port side(left) and green buoys on your starboard side (right). When returning fromsea you would have red buoys on your starboard (right) side (Remember " Red right return") and green buoys on your port side (left).
The main purpose of the lateral system of red and green buoys and markers is to indicate the sides of a navigable waterway or the location of hazards. Red buoys/markers should be kept on the right or starboard side of the boat when traveling upstream, while green buoys/markers should be kept on the left or port side. This system helps to ensure safe navigation and prevent collisions.
A boat should cruise between a green and red buoy. The red buoy will always be located on the right side of your boat. Red buoys will always mean , returning, red, and right. There will be a number on a red buoy that will give the chart location. The numbers will always be even.
