A white buoy serves various navigational and safety purposes on waterways. It typically marks safe passages, indicates specific areas, or provides information to mariners, such as warning of nearby hazards or denoting the boundaries of certain zones like swimming areas. Some white buoys may also display additional colors or symbols to convey specific messages. Overall, they help ensure safe navigation for vessels.
A mooring buoy is typically a white buoy with a blue horizontal band or strip around it. This coloration helps boaters identify the buoy's purpose, indicating that it is designated for mooring vessels. The blue stripe serves as a visual cue to ensure safe and proper usage of the buoy for anchoring.
A white buoy with an orange marking and black lettering is typically a regulatory buoy, specifically a special purpose buoy. These buoys serve to convey important information about navigation, such as indicating safe navigation routes or warning of hazards. The orange markings and lettering help to make the buoy's message clear to mariners.
A buoy that is white with vertical stripes is typically a "safe water buoy," also known as a "fairway buoy." This type of buoy marks the limits of safe water and indicates that navigators can pass on either side. The vertical stripes often help in identifying the buoy's purpose, making it easier for mariners to navigate safely in open waters.
