Red buoys mark the starboard side of the channel and black buoys the port side of the channel for vessels bound up river.

A position line for each buoy is marked by whitewash dabs and range poles on shore painted white. The buoys are liable to be dragged out of position by woodrafts, and masters of vessels are warned that they must not be considered as reliable.

A plan showing the position of buoys relatively to the dangers they mark can be seen at the Harbour Master's Office.
