1 The depths in the deep-water route, bounded
by the line connecting positions (3) - (12) and approximately 6 miles
wide, are confirmed by detailed hydrographic surveys in accordance
with IHO standard S-44 in the Swedish area of responsibility. The
depths are nowhere less than 25 metres.
2 The areas bounded by the line connecting positions
(1) - (4) and (11) - (14) are not yet surveyed in accordance with
IHO standard S-44. The survey will be carried out not later than 2008.
3 All ships passing east and south of the island
of Gotland bound to or from the northeastern part of the Baltic Sea,
with a draught exceeding 12 metres, are recommended to use the deep-water
route.
