In which direction should port-hand buoys be kept relative to your craft?

  1. On the right side when proceeding upstream

  2. On the port (left) side when proceeding upstream

  3. Directly behind

  4. They should be ignored

The correct answer is: On the port (left) side when proceeding upstream

Port-hand buoys should be kept on the port (left) side when proceeding upstream. This is because, in most cases, vessels will navigate on the right side of the channel when proceeding upstream. This allows for consistent and safe navigation, avoiding potential collisions with other vessels. Keeping the port-hand buoys on the left side ensures that the vessel stays in the correct navigational channel. Ignoring the buoys or having them directly behind the vessel would not provide any guidance for safe navigation.
