    Robert M. Maluya
    This document describes various chartwork planning symbols used when planning a ship's route and passage. It outlines symbols for planned tracks, tidal streams, dangers, clearing bearings, distance to run, planned positions and times, sunrise/sunset, visual limits of lights, and changes of chart. The symbols provide important navigational information like course, speed, tidal conditions, hazards, safe depths, bearings, distances, planned locations and times along the route.

    APPENDIX 1

    CHARTWORK PLANNING SYMBOLS




    PLANNED TRACK: Draw the
    planned track boldly, writing the
    course along the track, with the
    course to steer in brackets alongside
    and speed in the box, underneath,
    the figures for course and speed
    should be sufficiently far away for
    the track, to permit necessary
    chartwork.
    TIDAL STREAM indicates, the
    expected tidal stream, showing the
    direction by a three headed arrow,
    the strength of the current inside
    the box and the
    time at which it is
    effective. This symbol is often used
    instead

    DANGERS: Emphasize dangers near
    the track by outlining them boldly
    in pencil (or colored ink if the chart
    is to used often). In pilotage water,
    the safe depth sounding line should
    be drawn in to show limits of the
    navigable channel. Remember that
    this will vary with the height of the
    tide.

    CLEARING BEARINGS: Draw
    clearing bearings boldly using solid
    arrowheads pointing towards the
    object NLT (not less than or
    NMT (not more than) should be
    written along with arrow line.
    A clearing bearing should be drawn sufficiently, clear of the danger so that the
    ship is still safe even if the bridge is on the bearing line but turning away from
    the danger.
    Allow for more bridge being on the line, with the stem or stern on the
    dangerous side of it, whichever is the greater.
    APPENDIX 1
    CHARTWORK PLANNING SYMBOLS




    DISTANCE TO RUN: Indicate the
    distance to destination, rendezvous
    etc. Numbers should be upright

    PLANNED POSITION & TIME:
    Indicate the time it is intended to be
    at particular positions at regular
    intervals, using bubbles close to
    but clear of track. It is suggested
    that ocean passage be marked every
    24 hours (0001) and 1200 or 0600
    and 1800), coastal passages more
    frequently, every 2hours.

    SUNRISE & SUNSET: Indicate the
    times of sunrise and sunset at the
    expected positions of the ship at
    those times.

    VISUAL LIMITS of LIGHTS: Indicate
    the arcs of the visual limits of lights
    that may be raised or dipped the
    rising/dipping range
    APPENDIX 1
    CHARTWORK PLANNING SYMBOLS




    CHANGE OF CHART
    The positions of changes of
    chart should be indicated
    double parallel lines, either
    vertical or horizontal
