As its name suggests, the isolated hazard mark indicates a hazard that is isolated in the middle of clean water. Faced with a brand like this, it can be avoided by bypassing it without any obligation as to the side chosen.
The Ant in Lavandou Bay
These marks are erected either as a turret directly on the rock, or as a wet buoy in way of danger.
The 2 spheres well separated one from the other are often the most visible to distinguish this type of buoy.
Colour | Several red and black stripes |
Indicator | Two superimposed black spheres |
Fire | (if any) 2 white flashes grouped together |
Mnemonic technique
- To remember the lighting of the isolated danger mark, one can remember that the 2 black spheres correspond to the 2 white flashes.
