The Strategic North: 3895 - Plans of Dixon Entrance

Navigate the gateway to the North Pacific and Alaska with the professional authority of the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS). Chart 3895 is a specialized "multi-plan" navigational tool, providing the granular detail required to safely enter the vital harbors and technical inlets that line the Dixon Entrance and northern Haida Gwaii.

Precision for International Transit and Safe Haven

The Dixon Entrance is a high-traffic maritime corridor known for its powerful swells and strategic importance. CHS Chart 3895 provides the "ground-truth" data required for safe pilotage in these specific zones:

• Multi-Plan Resolution: Unlike broad overview charts, 3895 features high-detail inserts for critical locations such as Brundige Inlet, Aliford Bay, and the approaches to Port Clements.

• Technical Passage Detail: Offers the resolution necessary to identify safe leads through narrow entrances and past submerged hazards that are often simplified on general-scale coastal maps.

• Anchorages & Seafloor Intelligence: Shows precise water depths and the nature of the sea bottom (rock, sand, or mud), vital for selecting secure mooring in the deep, tide-swept waters of the North Coast.

• Safety & Hazard Identification: Explicitly marks drying reefs, beacons, and navigational aids, providing essential situational awareness for commercial shipping, deep-sea fishing fleets, and long-range cruisers.

The Professional Standard for Dixon Entrance Safety

With increasing commercial activity and cross-border transit, the reliability of Chart 3895 is more vital than ever. Specifically designed to meet the rigorous requirements of marine navigation, this official CHS chart delivers the accuracy and detail needed to navigate the northern frontier of British Columbia with total confidence.
