We received taxi instruction to taxi to Runway 32 via H from apron. We taxied per instruction. The captain and I visually verified via the Jeppesen chart that taxiway H does not cross Runway 27. There were no messages; NOTAMs; or any special considerations in the iPad advisory pages. The flight taxied to Runway 32 without problem. This report is written due to crew confusion regarding nonstandard markings on taxiway H and Runway 27 approach. Taxiway H and the intersecting taxiway that leads to Runway 27 clearly indicate taxiways on the Jeppesen chart. This lead to crew confusion on Taxiway H in the vicinity or Runway 27 approach. The 27 approach hold short markings were well worn and badly chipped. The markings were very difficult to see until aircraft was within a few feet of them. We don't believe any error took place. This report was created due to crew confusion of that potential hot spot of Taxiway H and intersection of the taxiway leading to Runway 27. We would have verified crossing of Runway 27 approach to eliminate unexpected confusion.
Cleared to taxi to runway 32 via taxiway H. No mention of any hold short. (I have been flying into Nassau [for many years] and have never used Rwy 32; but due to winds behind a tropical storm). My review of the taxi diagram showed that taxiway H does not cross a runway. It does however cross a taxiway that becomes runway 27. There are no pavement markings at the intersection. I taxied all the way to 32. There were no runway 27 approaches in progress; and no remarks or questions from ATC; no traffic conflicts. I was sure of the clearance; but retrospectively I wish I would have verified before crossing. Vague taxi diagram and pavement markings. Perhaps a clearer taxi instruction; clearer taxi diagram; and pavement markings if this is indeed a runway crossing.
A319 flight crew reported the hold short markings for Runway 27 on Taxiway H at MYNN (Nassau) are badly worn and hard to see.
