4335 - Strait of Canso and Approaches | Southern Entry Marine Map

Ensure safe passage through one of the most vital maritime corridors in Eastern Canada with the CHS Nautical Chart 4335: Strait of Canso and Approaches. Published by the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS), this official nautical chart provides high-resolution coverage for the southern entrance to the Strait, including the critical transition from Chedabucto Bay into the narrow reaches of the Canso corridor.

This chart is a primary tool for pilots and mariners managing large-scale commercial traffic, including oil tankers and bulk carriers heading to the industrial terminals at Point Tupper and Port Hawkesbury. It offers extensive bathymetric data for the approaches, where deep-water Atlantic routes meet the navigational constraints of the shore. Whether you are navigating a supertanker or a coastal cruiser, Chart 4335 provides the accuracy required to manage tidal flows and identify safe deep-water channels.

Key Navigational Features:

• Strategic Approach Coverage: Detailed mapping of the southern approaches from the Atlantic and Chedabucto Bay into the Strait of Canso.

• Official Hydrography: Features precise depth soundings, seabed characteristics, and tidal variations essential for deep-draft vessels.

• Navigational Aids: Clearly marks all primary offshore buoys, range lights, and shore-based beacons for precision positioning.

• Industrial & Anchorage Data: Includes details for designated anchorage areas and approaches to the major industrial waterfronts of the region.

• Professional Grade: Printed on durable, heavy-weight paper to meet official carriage requirements for vessels operating in Canadian coastal waters.

From the exposed waters of the bay to the sheltered industrial hubs of the Strait, Chart 4335 is the definitive navigational authority for this high-traffic maritime gateway.
