These are the designs for the new navigation marks on the Corrib. Above are the Main channel (large and small conical buoys with IALA topmarks) and secondary channel marks (can and conical buoys with no topmarks).
Below can be seen the marks they will be replacing. It is important to note that Red circular topmarks will be replaced with GREEN buoys, and Black Diamond topmarks will be replaced with RED buoys. This is entirely in keeping with the IALA standard.
The work will be starting in the near future, public meetings are being scheduled by the Corrib Trustees in order that interested parties can have input.
