Where is the Green Navigational light located?

• A. On the starboard side
• B. On the port side
• C. At the stern
• D. At the bow

Answer: (A)

Green is the color used for the starboard side, which is the right-hand side of a vessel when you face forward. Navigational lights are set up so red marks the port (left) side, green marks the starboard (right) side, and a white light shines from the stern. This arrangement helps other boaters quickly identify which side of your vessel is toward them and, in turn, determine which vessel should maneuver to avoid a collision. So the green navigational light is located on the starboard side of the boat.
