Nun Navigational Marker Buoy

Nun Navigational Marker Buoys are a type of buoy used in marine navigation to mark channels or indicate hazards to navigation. They are typically shaped like a cone or a truncated cone, with a pointed top and a wide base.

Nun buoys are usually colored red and are used to mark the right side of a channel when entering from seaward. They are positioned on the starboard (right) side of the channel and are used to guide vessels safely through the waterway.

These buoys are equipped with various navigational aids such as lights, reflectors, and radar reflectors to enhance their visibility during day and night. They are often moored to the seabed using chains or cables and are designed to withstand the harsh marine environment.

Nun Navigational Marker Buoys are an essential component of maritime infrastructure, helping ships and vessels navigate safely through channels and avoid potential hazards.
