Summary
This document provides a comprehensive guide to maritime chart symbols, descriptions, and illustrations. It includes information on various types of symbols, including conspicuous, non-conspicuous, question mark, low accuracy, default, information, and danger symbols. The document discusses the use and meaning of these symbols in different scenarios, e.g., for underwater features, for obstructions or shallow water contours. It also contains questions related to maritime safety.

Smaller exa features. Larger examples depict area features, where th Depicts an area where entry is prohibited, restricted, or to be avoided) the centre of the area it depicts.) 6 New Object - An ENC may contain a feature calledNew Object, which is used to represent features for which no specific object exists. The definit Object can be found through the pickreport.A New Object may inclu instruction which determinesits display, if not included it will display New Object symbols) o) - Isolated Dangers - Generally, rocks,wrecks and obstructions may be displayed as the isolated danger symbol depending on the safety setting in the ECDIS Traditional/Simplified Symbology - ECOIS can display certain features using either simplifiedor traditional symbology. Traditional symbology is similar to paper chart symbolsand has been used except where stated in this guide. Simplified symbols try to convey the meaning of the feature usinga symbol shape and colour combination. Simplified symbology is primarily used for aids to navigation, e.g:)
