S-100
- The next step for Electronic Navigational Charts
What is S-100?
The standard for Electronic Navigational Charts that soon will bring huge benefits to shipping!
The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) has developed a new standard for electronic navigational charts (ENCs) called S-100. This standard defines the data format, structure and content for the production of large scale professional vector charts. It also includes specifications for the production of raster charts, chart catalogs and chart catalog services, as well as for chart updates. The S-100 standard is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of users, from recreational boaters to professional navigators. It is expected to become the new global standard for ENCs in the near future.
Main benefits from the new standard
The S-100 standard offers a number of benefits for maritime companies. These include improved data quality and accuracy, greater operational efficiency, and increased safety and security. It provides an open platform for exchanging data, allowing for more interoperability between different maritime software systems. It also enables the development of new applications and services that can be used to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase customer satisfaction. Finally, the S-100 standard simplifies the process of maintaining and updating ENCs, making the software development process much more efficient and cost-effective.
