Buoys and Markers
Buoys and markers are invaluable guides to safe navigation. The system
of buoys used in Canada is outlined below. Complete details of the system
are available from all Coast Guard offices, chart distributors, or CHS
chart distributors.
Upstream direction: is the direction taken by a vessel when
proceeding from seaward, toward the headwaters of a river, into
a harbour or with the flood tide.
Lateral Buoys
Keep all solid green buoys on your port (left) side when moving in the upstream
direction.
Keep all solid red buoys on your starboard (right) side when moving
in an upstream direction.
