FOREWORD The IALA NAVGUIDE 2010 will be of interest and assistance to all organisations, training institutions and individuals who are associated with aids to navigation (AtoN). This sixth edition has been developed over the past four years (2006 – 2010), and represents a continuing commitment to excellence and clarity of presentation. A key change from the 2006 version is the focus on e-navigation in recognition of the extensive conceptual work done to date, the central role e-navigation is expected to play in the future work program of IALA and its impact on the way Competent Authorities provide an aids to navigation service to mariners in the longer term. The IALA Aids to Navigation Management (ANM) Committee has coordinated the review of the IALA NAVGUIDE. All sections have been reviewed and revisions made through expert input from all of the IALA Committees – ANM, Engineering, Environment and Preservation (EEP), e-Navigation (e-NAV) and Vessel Traffic Services (VTS). This NAVGUIDE is a tribute to professionals already very busy in their own organisations worldwide, who are happy to share their expertise with other members of the international maritime community to assist in reaching the ultimate goal of harmonization of maritime aids to navigation.

We’ve focussed in on the main aspects of the marks, visible during daylight operations. The light colours and sequences are not detailed in this document, but in a further document that also shows how they would be depicted on charts. IALA Regions IALA stands for International Association of Lighthouse Authorities. A lighthouse authority is responsible for the installation and maintenance of all aids to navigation, e.g navigational marks (buoyage) and lighthouses. More recently, lighthouse authorities have started deploying virtual aids to navigation, effectively virtual buoys that appear on digital charts. In Ireland the Commissioners of Irish Lights are the lighthouse authority. There is significant international cooperation and standardisation under IALA, with the world split into two regions called Region A and Region B. Region A consists of most of the world, including Europe, with the exception of the North America and Singapore and a few other minor areas, which comprise Region B. Buoyage remains very similar between the two, but for the purposes of this, we focus on Region A. Lateral Marks Used to mark out channels. Port lateral marks are to be kept to left, and starboard lateral marks to the right, when entering harbours or ports. Port Hand Lateral Mark • Square/Box Shape • Red in Colour • Keep on Left Side of boat entering port Port Hand Lateral Mark • Conical in shape • Green in Colour • Keep on Right Side of boat entering port Direction of Buoyage This symbol will be found on navigation charts.

Racons Aids to Navigation Aids to Navigation are placed along coasts and navigable waters as guides to mark safe water and to assist mariners in determining their position in relation to land and hidden dangers. Each aid to navigation is used to provide specific information. A navigational aid (also known as aid to navigation, ATON, or navaid) is any sort of marker which aids the traveler in navigation; the term is most commonly used to refer to nautical or aviation travel. Common types of such aids include lighthouses, buoys, fog signals, and day beacons. According to the glossary of terms in the US Coast Guard Light list, an Aid to Navigation is any device external to a vessel or aircraft specifically intended to assist navigators in determining their position or safe course, or to warn them of dangers or obstructions to navigation. Several aids to navigation are usually used together to form a local aid to navigation system that helps the mariner follow natural and improved channels. Such aids to navigation also provide a continuous system of charted marks for coastal piloting .

There has long been disagreement over the way in which buoy lights should be used since they first appeared towards the end of the 19th century. In particular, some countries favoured using red lights to mark the port hand side of channels and others favoured them for marking the starboard hand. Another major difference of opinion revolved around the principles to be applied when laying out marks to assist the mariner. Most countries adopted the principle of the Lateral system whereby marks indicate the port and starboard sides of the route to be followed according to some agreed direction. However, several countries also favoured using the principle of Cardinal marks whereby At the end of World War II many countries found dangers are marked by one or more buoys or beacons their aids to navigation destroyed and the process of laid out in the quadrants of the compass to indicate restoration had to be undertaken urgently. In the where the danger lies in relation to the mark, this absence of anything better, the Geneva rules were system being particularly useful in the open sea where adopted with or without variation to suit local the Lateral buoyage direction may not be apparent.

  • IALA Maritime Buoyage System
    IALA Maritime Buoyage System Above: Sealite Poseidon-1750 Ocean Buoy, West Sea Who is IALA? Established in 1957, IALA (International Association of Marine Aids and Lighthouse Authorities) is a non-profit international technical association. IALA provides nautical expertise and advice. IALA encourages its members to work together to harmonise aids to navigation worldwide and to ensure the movements of vessels are safe, expeditious and cost effective whilst simultaneously protecting the environment. One of the ways IALA achieves this is by establishing technical committees which bring together experts from more than 80 countries around the world. The work of these committees is to develop recommendations on technologies and practices which are available in publications such as IALA Recommendations and Guidelines. IALA is chiefly known for its buoyage system. As early as 1976, there were more than 30 dissimilar buoyage systems in use throughout the world. To avoid confusion and help create safe navigation to mariners of different regions IALA have created a worldwide buoyage system. Region A & Region B To minimise the number of changes to existing systems and to meet conflicting requirements IALA decided to create a system divided into two regions. The region followed is dependent on geographical location: Region A: Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, the Gulf and some Asian countries Region B: North, Central & South America, Japan, North & South Korea and the Philippines What Region am I in? Refer to Appendix A on page 7 to view map of IALA Buoyage Region A & Region B. Types of Marks The different types of marks used in the pilotage of vessels at sea are easily distinguished by their shape, colour, topmark by day and the colour and rhythm of the light by night.

  • Evaluation of the Visibility of Buoys and Topmarks
    Evaluation of the Visibility of Buoys and Topmarks Belinda L. Collins Philip A. Sanders Building and Fire Research Laboratory Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899 NIST — United States Department of Commerce —QC nology Administration 100 nal Institute of Standards and Technology . U56 4756 1992 C.2 NISTIR 4756 Evaluation of the Visibility of Buoys and Topmarks Belinda L. Collins, Philip A. Sanders March 1992 Building and Fire Research Laboratory National Institute of Standards and Technology Gaithersburg, MD 20899 U.S. Department of Commerce U.S. Coast Guard Barbara Hackman Franklin, Secretary’ Groton CT 06349 Technology Administration Robert M. White, Under Secretary for Technology National Institute of Standards and Technology John W. Lyons, Director , Abstract The research literature on the visibility of colors and topmarks used to code information on buoys and other aids to navigation was reviewed. Although several studies suggest that color may be recognizable at greater distances than topmarks, it is difficult to draw conclusions about the relative effectiveness of different topmark, color, and buoy configurations because the researchers used small numbers of observers and tested different aspects of aids to navigation. Consequently, two experiments were conducted to determine the distance at which buoy topmark configurations could be correctly identified for different lighting geometries and background conditions. In experiment 1, the visibility of buoys and topmarks as separate entities was evaluated for ten different buoy configurations in simulated waterway viewing environments. Four buoys, including safe water, danger, port and starboard, were shown with and without topmarks, while two buoys, north and east, always had topmarks. Front and back lighted buoys were presented against both water and foliage, as well as in a "twilight" condition.
