5626 - Baker Lake Nautical Chart

The Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) Chart 5626 is an official, high-precision marine navigation chart engineered for commercial cargo fleets, mining resupply vessels, and subarctic marine operators navigating the inland waters of Baker Lake in Nunavut’s Kivalliq Region. Published at a detailed scale, this authoritative nautical asset provides critical "ground-truth" hydrographic data required for safe passage planning, shallow-water maneuvering, and berth approach routing across Baker Lake (Qamani'tuaq) and its terminal loading zones.

Key Features & Hydrographic Data Included:

• Detailed High-Resolution Lake Mapping: Delivers continuous, high-definition charting across the open basin, shallow shorelines, and anchorage grounds of Baker Lake.

• 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 secure anchoring during commercial sealift operations.

• Essential Aids to Navigation: Explicitly details official maritime buoys, 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.
