Under the IALA-A Buoyage system, a buoy marking the port hand of the channel when approaching from seaward may NOT have a _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) conical shape.
Under the IALA-A Buoyage system, a port-hand buoy marking the port side of a channel when approaching from seaward must have a can or cylindrical shape, not a conical shape. This is because the conical shape is reserved for starboard-hand buoys. The other options (B, C, and D) are all possible characteristics of a port-hand buoy, but the shape must be can or cylindrical, not conical.
