Boating Safety
FWMS System
The FWMS Lateral System is for use on navigable waters except
Western Rivers and Intercoastal Waterways. The markings on these
buoys are oriented from the perspective of being entered from
seaward (the boater is going toward the port). This means that red
buoys are passed on the starboard (right) side of the vessel when
proceeding from open water into port, and green buoys to the port
(left) side.
The right side (starboard) of the channel is marked with RED, even
numbered buoys. The left (port) side of the channel is marked with
GREEN, odd numbered buoys.
The middle of the channel is marked with RED and WHITE
vertically striped buoys; pass close to these buoys.
Spherical Safe Water Marker
Obstructions, channel junctions, etc. are marked with RED and
GREEN horizontally striped buoys.
A RED band at the top means the preferred channel is to the left
of the buoy; a GREEN top band means the preferred channel is to
the right of the buoy.
Day markers are colored and numbered the same as buoys. RED,
triangular day markers with even numbers mark the starboard side
of the channel. GREEN, square day markers with odd numbers
mark the port side of the channel.
