Correct side for passing buoys
Red, right, returning ... everywhere?
You have just discovered IALA System "A" buoyage. Everywhere in the world except the USA and places that the USA has influenced, like Japan, Korea and the Philippines, have the green buoys to starboard as you proceed with the flood tide.
As you are heading into a port then the tide floods towards the port so you pass red buoys on your port side
