Read and translate the following text:
A marine navigational chart also known as a nautical chart – is a graphic representation of maritime and coastal areas, ports and harbours and approaches to these. There thousands of these charts which cover the earth’s oceans, rivers and ports. Depending on the scale of the chart, it may show depths of water (chart datum) and heights of land (topographic map), natural features of the seabed (for anchoring), details of the coastline, navigational hazards, locations of natural and human-made aids to navigation (details of lighthouses and buoys), information on tides and currents, prominent land features (e.g. church towers), traffic separation schemes, local details of the Earth’s magnetic field, and human-made structures such as harbours, buildings, and bridges, and in short anything which could assist navigation.
Navigational charts are required to be carried by law for the passage planned. It is an essential tool for a navigator to plan and ensure that his ship proceeds safely to the destination.
Nautical charting may take the form of charts printed on paper or computerized electronic navigational charts. Conventional nautical charts are printed on large sheets of paper at a variety of scales. Mariners will generally carry many charts to provide sufficient detail for the areas they might need to visit. Electronic navigational charts use computer software and electronic databases to provide navigation information. However, electronic charts are not yet mandated as a legal replacement for paper charts. Electronic charts are slowly becoming more popular, it will be a long time before they replace paper charts completely.
How is a chart made?
Charts are made by hydrographic departments across the world. Admiralty charts are nautical charts issued by the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office. The British Admiralty (BA) charts are the most commonly used ones worldwide. Over 3,000 charts are available and cover virtually the entire world in various levels of detail depending on the density of traffic and hazards. Large-scale charts often cover approaches and entrances to harbours, medium-scale charts cover heavily used coastal areas, and small-scale charts are for navigation in more open areas.
