IALA MARITIME BUOYAGE SYSTEM
IALA means
International Association of Lighthouse Authorities
IALA BUOYAGE 2 2
IALA MARITIME BUOYAGE SYSTEM
Two forms of the IALA System :– IALA System “A”-Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Green buoys mark the starboard side of a channel in the “A” system.
– IALA System “B” -North, Central, and South America, Korea, and the Philippines. Green buoys mark the port side of the channel in system “B”.

IALA REGION
IALA BUOYAGE 4 4
DIRECTION OF BUOYAGE
Defined in one of two ways: • The general direction - approaching a
harbour, river, estuary or other waterway from seaward, or
• Determined by the appropriate authority. In principle, it follows a clockwise direction around land masses.
• Is indicated in appropriate nautical documents.

• Five types of navigation buoys:Lateral Cardinal Isolated danger Safe water Special

LATERAL MARKS
IALA BUOYAGE 7 7
LATERAL MARKS
• used in conjunction with a conventional direction of buoyage.
• used for well defined channels. • indicate the port and starboard sides of
the route to be followed. • Where a channel divides, a modified
lateral mark may be used to indicate the preferred route.
• Differ between buoyage regions A and B.

CARDINAL MARKS
IALA BUOYAGE 12 12
CARDINAL MARKS
• The four quadrants (North, East, Southand West) are bounded by the true bearings NW-NE, NE-SE, SE-SW, SW-NW, taken from the point of interest.
• A cardinal mark is named after the quadrant in which it is placed.
• The name of a cardinal mark indicates that it should be passed to the named side of the mark.
IALA BUOYAGE 13 13
CARDINAL MARKS
Used to: • indicate that the deepest water in
that area is on the named side of the mark
• to indicate the safe side on which to pass a danger
• to draw attention to a feature in a channel such as a bend, a junction, a bifurcation, or the end of a shoal

SAFE WATER MARKS
Indicate that there is navigable water all round the mark;
• include centre line marks and mid-channel marks.
• an alternative to a cardinal or a lateral mark to indicate a landfall.

SPECIAL MARKS
Not primarily intended to assist navigation but which indicate a special area or feature. Example:
• Ocean Data Acquisition Systems (ODAS) marks;
• Traffic Separation marks • Spoil Ground marks; • Military Exercise Zone marks; • Cable or pipe line marks;• Recreation Zone marks.

SPECIAL MARKS
Colour : YellowShape (Buoys) : Optional,
but not conflicting with navigational marks
Topmark (if any) : Single yellow ‘X’ shape
Light (when fitted) : Yellow. Any rhythm not used for white lights.
Retroreflector: Yellow band or an X
Note: If can, cone or spherical shape is used, will indicate which side to pass.

Preferred channel
At the point where a channel divides, when proceeding in the conventional direction of buoyage, a preferred channel may be indicated by modifying Port or Starboard lateral marks.

NEW DANGERS
To describe • newly discovered hazards not yet
shown on charts– naturally occurring obstructions
(sandbanks or rocks)– man-made dangers (wrecks).
IALA BUOYAGE 28 28
NEW DANGERS
• Marking rules:– In the case of an especially grave danger,
one of the marks may be duplicated.– have an appropriate cardinal or lateral
V.Qk.FI. or Qk.FI. light character. – A duplicate mark will be identical to its
partner in all respects. – A duplicate mark may carry a racon, coded
Morse D. – The duplicate mark will be removed when
the new danger has been sufficiently promulgated.
IALA BUOYAGE 29 29
PHASE CHARACTERISTIC
• Isophase (Iso):This Light has equal duration between light and darkness. A period consists of both a light and a dark interval. Also called Equal Interval (E Int).
IALA BUOYAGE 30 30
PHASE CHARACTERISTIC
• Group Flashing (Gp Fl(x+x)): – Combination of two patterns in one period.
Example 'Gp Fl(2+3)‘. – the first 2 flashes followed by the pattern of 3
flashes.
• Occulting (Occ): – Occulting is the opposite of flashing, the light is
more on then off.
