Navigation Buoys

Navigation Lights Collection – nautical apparel inspired by ship navigation signals by Boat Master

Navigation buoys are floating markers that guide sailors through waterways, marking channels, hazards and safe passages.

Their bold shapes and bright colors carry essential meaning - forming a visual language of safety at sea.

The world follows the IALA buoyage system, divided into:
- Region A (Europe, Africa, most of Asia): red buoys mark the port (left) side of the channel when entering from the sea, and green mark the starboard (right) side.
- Region B (Americas, Japan, Korea, Philippines): the colors are reversed - red marks starboard, green marks port.

Sailor’s note: The tallest navigation buoy in the world stands in the North Sea off the coast of Germany - it’s about 16 meters high, nearly the height of a 5-story building!
