Essential Detail for Commercial & River Transit

This section of the Fraser River is one of the busiest inland waterways in Canada, serving as a vital link for international trade, industrial tug operations, and local river commerce. CHS Chart 3489 provides the "ground-truth" data required for safe pilotage:

• Dynamic River Bathymetry: Provides accurate depth soundings and seafloor characteristics—crucial for mariners dealing with the unique silting and scouring patterns of the Fraser River.

• Hazard & Navigation Markers: Explicitly marks submerged hazards, river-specific buoys, and beacons updated through the latest Notices to Mariners (NOTMAR).
