INTRODUCTION
Metric Charts
Metric units are introduced on Admiralty charts as they are modernised. Metric charts
can be distinguished from fathoms charts by their use of buff tint for land areas and the
prominent marginal legends DEPTHS IN METRES.
Chart Datum
On metric charts, the reference level for soundings is given under the chart title.
Depths
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 from 0 1 m to 20 9m are generally expressed in metres and
decimetres. Where source information is sufficiently precise, depths from 21m to 31m
may be given in half-metres. All other depths are shown in whole metres.
Drying heights
Underlined figures on rocks and banks which uncover indicate heights above chart
datum. They are given in metres and decimetres.
Heights
Heights, including overhead clearances, are given in metres above Mean High Water
Springs, Mean Higher High Water or Mean Sea Level; details are given in the
Explanatory Notes under the chart title. The position of a height is normally that of the
dot alongside it, thus -79. Parentheses are used when the figure expressing height is set
apart from the object (eg when showing the height of a small islet).
Bearings
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-tenth of a sea mile.
Names
Names on Admiralty charts are spelt in accordance with the principles and systems
approved by the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use.

is also an international one. Purely national charts have the national seal only. Reproductions of charts of other
