Since this is a Red Lighted Buoy sighted while approaching a harbour,this is a Lateral starboard hand side mark,IALA region B.To keep this buoy on ur starboard side while entering the harbour.
Since this is a Green Lighted Buoy sighted while approaching a harbour,this is a Lateral port hand side mark, IALA region B. To keep this buoy on your port side while travelling upstream.
Keep the buoy on your right or starboard side.
Again this is a VERY broad question, with no mention to the size of the vessel, conditions or the location of the buoy, I am going to say speed of the vessel is a factor. The length of your vessel, in relation to the swing. The scope of the line required to moor. The type of connection you will be using and the duration are factors to take into account when approaching a mooring buoy.
Keep the buoy on your port (left) side.
