SATELLITE DERIVED POSITIONS
Positions obtained from satellite navigation systems referred to WGS 84 Datum can be plotted directly onto this chart. Caution must be exercised in the transfer of geographical positions to other charts not in terms of WGS 84 Datum.

AIDS TO NAVIGATION
Certain lights, buoys and beacons in the inner waters and channels are not shown on this chart. For these the larger scale charts must be consulted.

COASTAL NAVIGATION
Owing to the exceptional pinnacle formation of underwater features in these waters, it cannot be certain that all have been discovered. Deep draught ships are advised to keep in greater depths than 50 metres. Vessels navigating in waters of less depth should keep a lookout for surface disturbances and be wary of unusual soundings which may indicate a potential danger.

RECOMMENDED ROUTES AROUND THE NEW ZEALAND COAST
Attention is drawn to ANTM 10 which recommends that ships are to keep at least 5 nautical miles off the land, any charted danger, or any outlying islands, until reaching a position where alteration is required to make port.
