CHART 4117 - SAINT JOHN HARBOUR AND APPROACHES 


CABLES The symbols for submarine and overhead cables do not differentiate between cables conducting electric power, often at high voltages, and other types of utility cables. Mariners are advised to exercise caution when passing under all overhead cables and to avoid anchoring or conducting seabed operations in the vicinity of submarine cables. The clearance of an overhead cable may differ from its charted value due to changes in atmospheric conditions, water levels and other factors. For additional information, consult Notice No. 16 in the Notices to Mariners, Annual Edition and the appropriate volume of CHS Sailing Directions.

BAY OF FUNDY VESSEL TRAFFIC SERVICES Traffic Services calling-in point with number; arrow indicates direction of vessel movement. For additional information concerning these services, see Radio Aids to  Marine Navigation (Atlantic, St. Lawrence, Great Lakes, Lake Winnipeg and Eastern Arctic), Part 3.

CURRENT IN SAINT JOHN HARBOUR Mariners must not be misled by the surface current on a rising tide as it may be outward while a few feet below the surface a strong inward current may exist. From approximately half tide, falling, the current is wholly outward. Abreast Negro Point, in the channel, at a depth of 20 feet, the flood current begins 3 hours after low water and the ebb current begins 2 hours after high water.

ANCHORAGES Vessels anchoring in the approaches to Saint John require a pilot when using anchorage A.
