What is a starboard beam?

A starboard beam refers to the side of a ship or boat that is perpendicular to its length and on the right side when facing forward. In nautical terms, "starboard" indicates the right side, while "beam" describes the widest part of the vessel. Therefore, the starboard beam is the area extending outwards from the right side of the ship at its widest point. This term is often used in navigation and maritime communications.
