There are two types of electronic chart
raster and vector.
A raster chart is a scanned and passive image ofa paper chart, whereas a vector chart corresponds to a digital
analysis by object (points, lines, areas etc.)

What are official charts?
issued by or on the authority of a Government,authorized Hydrographic Office or other relevantgovernment institutions are official and
may be used to fulfil carriage requirements(provided they are kept up to date).

All other nautical charts are by definition notofficial and are often referred to as private charts.
These charts are not accepted as the basis fornavigation under the SOLAS convention.
There are two kinds of official digital charts
commonly available; Electronic NavigationalCharts (ENC) and Raster NavigationalCharts (RNC).

What is an ENC?
ENC stands for Electronic Navigational Chart.
The term was originally introduced for digitalchart data complying with the IHO chart datatransfer standard S-57.

By IMO definition
ENCs can only be produced by or on theauthority of a government, authorisedHydrographic Office or other relevantgovernment institution.
Any other vector data is unofficial and does notmeet carriage requirements.

ENCs have the following attributes:
- ENC content is based on source data or officialcharts of the responsible Hydrographic Office;
- ENCs are compiled and coded according tointernational standards;

- ENCs are referred to World GeodeticSystem 1984 Datum (WGS84);
- ENC content is the responsibility and liabilityof the issuing Hydrographic Office;
- ENCs are issued only by the responsible
Hydrographic Office; and - ENCs are regularly updated with official update
information distributed digitally.

How do I recognise an ENC?
When I am buying
Only authorized distributors sell ENCs in ENCservices which include the delivery of updateinformation.
The distributors are authorized either directly by
the originating Hydrographic Office or by acooperation of Hydrographic Offices.

When used in an ECDIS
ECDIS distinguishes an ENC from unofficialdata.
When unofficial data is used, ECDISinforms mariners that they must navigate bymeans of an official, up to date, paper chart by a
continuous warning on the screen.

If unofficial data is shown on the ECDIS display,its boundary is to be identified by a special linestyle.
This boundary is visualized as a one-sidedRED line with the diagonal stroke on the
unofficial side of the line.

How are ENCs distributed?
The International Hydrographic Organisation(IHO) provides an interactive web catalogue(www.iho.int) displaying the status of worldwideENC production.
This system has pointers for guiding users to
ENC suppliers and distributors.A three-colour scheme is used to distinguishbetween degrees of accessibility.

How are ENCs protected?A majority of all ENCs are only made available to
the end-users in a protected form compliant with
the IHO S-63 Data Protection scheme. The standard maintains the integrity in all
transactions between the service provider andthe end-user.
The protection scheme enables the end usersystems to check the authenticity of the suppliedinformation.

The S-63 protection scheme defines amechanism for encrypting ENC information and
applying a digital signature to enableauthentication of the chart data by the end-user.
The end-user will require a decryption key to
access and view the ENC data protected by thescheme.

Are there other ways that ENCs canbe distributed? The International Hydrographic Organisation
has approved the distribution of ENCs in the internal format used by the individual
ECDIS manufacturer.
The generic name of this format is SENC
System-ENC.

Depending on the make of ECDIS this canincrease the speed of loading of ENC-data.
The IHO requires service providers using thismethod of SENC-distribution to gain the agreement of the Hydrographic Offices
supplying the ENCs and to use type approved software to ensure that theintegrity of the SENC data is maintained.

What is an RNC?
RNC means Raster Navigational Chart .
RNCs are digital raster copies of official papercharts conforming to IHO Product SpecificationsRNC (S-61).
By definition RNCs can only be issued by, or onthe authority of, a national Hydrographic Office.
24
8/14/2019 D001AWhat Kinds of Electronic Charts Are AvailableENC

RNCs have the following attributes:
-RNCs are a facsimile of official paper charts;
-RNCs are produced according to internationalstandards;
-RNC content is the responsibility of the issuing
Hydrographic Office; and -RNCs are regularly updated with official update
information distributed digitally.

The IMO performance standards for ECDISstates that where ENCs are not available,
RNCs may be used in ECDIS to meet carriagerequirements.
However, when the ECDIS is using RNCs it
should be used together with an appropriatefolio of up to date paper charts.
26

Because of their nature, RNCs when used inECDIS do not provide the same level of
functionalitythat is provided by ENCs; the limitations of operating with RNCs are
outlined in IMO SN Circulars 207 and 255

How are ENCs and RNCs kept up to date?
ENCs and RNCs are kept up to date by applyingregular,
for example weekly, update information to thechart data via a data file.
28
8/14/2019 D001AWhat Kinds of Electronic Charts Are AvailableENC

The update file may be transferred by wirelesstransmission, or by a suitable media e.g. CD.
The actual updating is applied automatically bythe ECDIS to its chart database.

Another standard function of ECDIS is
the capability of updating the ENC manuallywhich may be used if the digital update is notavailable.

At present most ENC and RNC updates aresupplied to ships on CD but remote updating
using satellite (or, when in port, shore based)telecommunications is becoming more and morecommon.
A number of ENC service providers already haveupdating services using e-mail and web andother means; details may be obtained from ENCdistributors.

Is it possible to check that all updateshave been applied to the ENC?
Updates to ENCs are sequential, and thesequence is unique to each ENC.
During the updating process ECDIS always
checks that all updates in the sequence havebeen applied.
32
8/14/2019 D001AWhat Kinds of Electronic Charts Are AvailableENC
32/42
Zin Maung Tun
32
If an update is missing then the ECDIS willindicate this;
it is not possible to load later updates until themissing update is applied.
33
8/14/2019 D001AWhat Kinds of Electronic Charts Are AvailableENC
33/42
Zin Maung Tun
33
The ECDIS maintains a list of updates applied andthe date of application.
This list can be used to check the update status ofthe ENCs loaded.
Should all available ENCs show the same date forthe latest update, it is likely that they have not beenupdated regularly, and
the distributor should be contacted for verification.
34
8/14/2019 D001AWhat Kinds of Electronic Charts Are AvailableENC

Furthermore it is possible to use traditionalsources of information, such as Notices to
Mariners, to verify updates. Port State Control of officers may use the ECDIS
listing to ensure that ENCs are being kept up to
date in accordance with SOLAS V Regulation 27.

What is ECDIS?
ECDIS equipment is specified in the IMO ECDISPerformance Standards (IMO Resolution A.817 (19)
ECDIS is a ship borne navigational device and
as such it is the responsibility of IMO.

It must support the whole range of navigationalfunctions that make use of the characteristics of the
chart data and their specific presentation.
to be an ECDIS the equipment must be shown to meet allthe requirements of the IMO Performance Standards
(IMO Resolution A.817(19))and offer, besides the graphic presentation of chart data,additional information about the characteristics of thedisplayed features.

Within the ECDIS,
the ENC database stores the chart information in
the form of geographic objects represented
by point, line and area shapes, carryingindividual attributes,
which make any of these objects unique.
38
8/14/2019 D001AWhat Kinds of Electronic Charts Are AvailableENC

Appropriate mechanisms are built into thesystem
to query the data, and
then to use the obtained information to performcertain navigational functions (e.g. the anti-
grounding surveillance).

The presentation of the current position,range/bearing functions and route planning
capabilities are other examples of the minimumECDIS requirements laid down in the IMOPerformance Standards for ECDIS.

The presentation of ENCs on the screen isspecified in another IHO standard,
the Colours and Symbols Specifications forECDIS IHO S-52 , called ECDIS Presentation Library .
41
8/14/2019 D001AWhat Kinds of Electronic Charts Are AvailableENC

This style of presentation is mandatory.
The use of ENCs in a tested, approved and
certified ECDIS and with appropriate back uparrangements, is the onlypaperless chartoption for vessel navigation.

How is an ECDIS approved and by whom?
To ensure that ECDIS equipment intended for
onboard use is seaworthy, it must pass type approval and test procedures
developed by the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) based on the ECDISPerformance Standards of IMO and applying theIHO requirements,S-52 and S-57 in particular.
