The Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) Chart 5476 is an official, high-precision multi-plan marine navigation chart engineered for commercial cargo fleets, regional resupply barges, and Arctic operators navigating the remote coastal waters of Hudson Bay and James Bay. Featuring a versatile collection of large-scale harbor and anchorage inset plans, this authoritative nautical asset provides critical "ground-truth" coastal data required for safe passage planning, shallow-water maneuvering, and secure anchoring across key subarctic ports and inlets.

Key Features & Hydrographic Data Included:

• Multi-Plan Harbor & Anchorage Coverage: Delivers detailed, high-resolution inset plans for key landing sites, river mouths, and sheltered anchorage zones throughout Hudson Bay and James Bay.

• Official Bathymetric & Seafloor Data: Packed with precise localized depth soundings, undersea contour lines, low-tide marine benchmarks, and subarctic reef hazards essential for managing safe draft clearance and anchoring in shallow estuarine conditions.

• Essential Aids to Navigation: Explicitly details official maritime buoys, coastal light stations, daybeacons, and prominent shoreline topography to ensure maximum situational awareness during low-visibility subarctic conditions, fog, or night transits.

• Premium Multi-Light Legibility: Printed with vibrant, high-contrast marine inks specifically engineered to maintain absolute clarity under both direct pilothouse sunlight and dim red-light night-deck setups.

• Legal Vessel Compliance: Fully satisfies international SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) carriage regulations and Canada Shipping Act mandates for commercial and recreational vessels requiring official hydrographic documentation.
