What color is the port sidelight?

  1. Red

  2. Green

  3. White

  4. Yellow

The correct answer is: Red

The port sidelight is red because it signifies the left side of a vessel when facing forward. This color helps other boats determine which direction a vessel is traveling, as well as how to navigate around it safely. The other options, green, white, and yellow, are incorrect because they are the colors of the starboard sidelight, stern light, and all-round light respectively, which denote the right side, rear, and center of a vessel.
