Approximate depth contour

Depths & contoursCore

A broken contour marks an equal-depth boundary whose position is approximate.

What it means
A broken line represents an approximate depth contour where the available survey does not justify a precise boundary.
Why it matters
Allow more margin around an approximate contour and inspect the chart's source or survey-quality information before using it for close pilotage.
