There are two international buoyage regions, A and B, between which lateral marks differ. The buoyage region is encoded using the separate attribute "system" (MARSYS). Lateral buoys generally have distinctive shapes (can for port-hand, conical for starboard-hand) or may be a pillar or spar with distinctive topmarks. The buoys and their topmarks are always painted in red, green or red & green horizontal bands.

Region A
  • comprises Europe, Africa, and most of Asia and Oceania, as well as Greenland.
  • port marks are red and may have a red flashing light of any rhythm except 2+1.
  • starboard marks are green and may have a green flashing light of any rhythm except 2+1.
