What scale are the inshore charts of Irish waters published at?

Inshore charts of Irish waters are published at a scale of 1:30,000. This scale is suitable for detailed navigation in coastal areas where mariners require precise information about water depths, hazards, and other important features. At 1:30,000, the chart provides a balance between detail and coverage, making it ideal for navigating inshore waters where navigational accuracy is critical.

The choice of this scale allows for better representation of the complex coastal geography of Ireland, which includes various hazards such as rocks, shallows, and other navigational aids. By using a scale that is neither too large nor too small, the inshore charts can effectively support safe navigation and decision-making in these regions.

This scale has been established as a standard for inshore navigation to ensure consistency and reliability for seafarers operating in these waters.
