b) A hydrographic survey project for the purpose of producing bathymetric plan has been successfully carried out on 22 September 2009 at Penang Port. Information on the Chart Datum (CD) is shown in Figure 2. The Reduced Level at the top of staff is 3.125m and the chart datum is 0.905 meters below Mean Sea Level (MSL). Appendix 1 shows part of the depth information obtained. The survey time recorded for fix 1 is 0900 hours and for fix 10 is 0915 hours. Tides data are shown in Table 3. Referring to measured depth in Table 4, estimate all the measured depth to produce charted depth.

c) Figure 3 shows the information of a chart datum as obtained during the survey. Table 5 shows the tide reading whereas Table 6 shows measured depth respectively. The Reduced Level at the top of the tide pole is 3.945 m and chart datum is 0.504 m below Land Survey Datum (LSD). Distinguish charted depth for each fix
