Blue tint, in one or more shades, and
tint ribbons, are shown to different
limits according to the scale and
purpose of the chart and the nature
of the bathymetry.
On some charts, the standard set of
contours is augmented by additional
contours in order to delimit partrcular
bathymetric fealures or tor the benehl
of particular cabgortes of shtpping.
However, in some instances where the
provision of additional contours would
be helpful, the survey data avatlable
does not permit it.
On some cnarLs, contours and l abel s
are printed in blue.

light of a parttcular intensity can be seen in
'clear'
visibilty, taking no account of earth curvature. ln those
countries (eg United Kingdom) where the term'clear' is
defined as a meteorological visibilty of 10 sea miles, the
range may be termed "nominal". ln thts example the
ranges of the colours are: white / miles, green 5 mtles,

Superbuoy. Superbuoys are very large
buoys, e.g. a LANBY (P6) is a
navigational aid mounted on a circular
hull of about 5m diameter. Oil or gas
installation buoys (L16) and ODAS buoys
(Q58), of similar size, are shown by
variations of the superbuoy symbol
