When returning to port and you see a red buoy, you should keep the buoy on your starboard (right) side. This means you should navigate to the left of the buoy as you approach the harbor. Red buoys indicate the right side of the channel when returning to port, so maintaining this course helps ensure safe passage. Always be mindful of local navigation rules and conditions.
It depends if you are in Region A or Region B
Always kept on the starboard side
In Region A it is a starboard hand buoy, in Region B it is a port hand buoy. These are lateral marks and in some areas the shape of the buoy cannot be relied upon.
