INTRODUCTION
GeneralChart 5011 is primarily a key to symbols and abbreviations used on Admiralty and International Charts compiled by the
UKHO (United Kingdom Hydrographic Office). Variations may occur on charts adopted into the Admiralty Series that were
originally produced by another hydrographic office. Where these symbols and abbreviations are easily understood they will
not be included as examples in this publication.
Schematic Lavout of Chart 501 IThis edition of Chart 5011 is based on the "Chart Specifications of the lHO"
adopted in 1982, with later additions and corrections The layout and numbering

Section designation. (tn some nautical pubtications, this reference is pre-fixed "1", for lnternational.)
Sub-section.
Cross-reference to terms in other sections.
Column 1 : Numbering foilowing the lnternational "Chart Specifications of the IHO'. A letter in this column, e.g. a, indicates a national
symbol for which there is no lnternational equivalent.
Column 2: lnternational (INT) symbols used on Admiralty charts.
Column 3: Term and explanation in Englrsh.
Column 4: Other symbol or abbreviation used on Admiratty charts, if different from Column 2. The mark t indicates that this
representation or usage is obsolescent.
Column 5: Cross references to the "Chart Specifications of the lHO", M-4, Part B
The mark # in Cotumns 2, 3 and 4 indicates that this symbol witl only be found on charts adopted into the Admiralty chart series.
However users should note that on such charts additional or different symbols not listed in this publication may be used. Where not
easily understood, such symbols will be explained on those charts
Metric units are introduced on Admiralty charts as they are modernised (except for charts of the waters around the United
States of America, where fathoms or feet continue to be used), Fathom and/or feet charts can be distinguished f rom metric
charts by the use of grey for land areas, a note in the title block and in some cases by a prominent legend in the margln.
On metric charts, the reference level for soundings is given under ihe chart tjtle. On fathoms charts, the reference level for
soundings may be given under the title; rf not, it can be deduced from the tidal information panel.
The units used are given under the title of the chart, The position of a sounding is the centre of the area covered by the figures.
On metric charts, depths of less than 21m are generally expressed in metres and decimetres. Where source information is
sufficiently precise, depths between 21m and 31m may be given in half-metres. All other depths are shown in whole metres
On fathom charts, depths are generally expressed rn fathoms and feet where less than 11 fms, and in fathoms elsewhere
Where source information is sufficiently precise, depths between 11 and 15 fms may be given in fathoms and feet. Older
charts may show fractions of fathoms in depths of 10 fathoms or less, and a few large-scale charts show all depths in feet.
On adopted or co-produced charts these ranges may vary.

Drying heights Underlined figures on rocks and banks which uncover indicate heights above chart datum. They are given in metres and

Heights are given in metres or in feet above the charted height datum; details are given in the Explanatory Notes under thechart title. The position of a height is normally that of the dot alongside it, thus .zg. parentheses are used when the f igureexpressing height is set apart from the object (eg when showing the height of a small islet). Clearance heights may be refeiredto a higher datum than other heights. In such cases this will be stated in the Explanatory Notes.
Bearings are given from seaward and refer to the true compass.
A sea mile is the length of one minute of latitude locally, and is the principal means of expressing distance on Admiralty charts.A cable is one{enth of a sea mile.
Names on Admiralty charts are spelt in accordance with the principles and systems approved by the permanent Committee onGeographical Names for British Official Use.
A second name may be given in parentheses in the following circumstances:a. if the retention of a superseded rendering will facilitate cross-reference to related publications:b if, in the case of a name that has changed radically, the retention of the former one will aid recognition;c if it is decided to retain an English conventional name in addition to the present official renderinj;
Details of Admiralty charts are given in the "Catalogue of Admiralty Charts and Publications" (Np 131) and regional catalogues'Caribbean' (NP105), 'Mediterranean' (NP106). 'Baltic' (NP107), 'North West Europe' (Np109), ail published annuailv.
The Mariner's Handbook (NP 100) includes information on the following:
The use of charts and the deQree of reliance that may be placed on them; chart supply and correction; names; cnartednavagational aids; navigational hazards; traffic separation schemes; ofishore oil and gas operations; tides and currents;general marine meteorology. A glossary of terms used on Admiralty charts is atso gtven.
lnformation about features represented on charts can also be found in the following publications or their digital equtvalents:Admiralty Sailing Directions; Admrralty List of Lights and Fog Signals; Admiralty Tide Tables and Tidal Stream Atlases;Admiralty List of Radio Signals; Annual Notices to Mariners, IALA Maritime Buoyage System.

Depth Contours

Low Water (LW) Line, Chart Datum (CD)
Blue tinl. in one or more shades, andtint ribbons, are shown to differentlimits according to the scale andpurpose of the chart and the natureof the bathymetry.
On some charts, the standard set ofcontours is augmented by additionalcontours tn order to delimit particularbathymetric features or for the benefitof particular categories of shipping.However, in some instances where theprovision of additional contours wouldbe helpful, the survey data availabledoes not permit it.
On some charts, contours and labelsare printed in blue.
On charts showing depths in fathoms/feet,the following contours are used:
