Navionics
S-57 charts are offered in encrypted directENC
and S-63 format (encrypted S-57 data).
S-57
describes the Standard to be used for the exchange of digital
hydrographic data between national Hydrographic Offices and for
the distribution of digital data and products to manufacturers,
mariners, and other data users (please klick here
for more information about S-57).
S-63 describes the IHO recommended standard for the protection of ENC information.
A chart display system (e.g. ECDIS or ECS) which shall display encrypted S-57 data must
be compliant to S-63. Such a system has a unique 'S-63 User permit' (ENC User permit)
which is required to produce chart permits. This chart permits have to be used to import
the ordered and encrypted ENCs (please click here for more information about S-57).
The
directENC format is the SevenCs ECDIS Kernel SENC (System Electronic
Navigational Chart) format. SENC is the data base, transformed
by ECDIS from the ENC (S-57 data) for optimum use, and updated
by appropriate means. It simplifies and accelerates the access
to the ENCs and their handling.
The directENC data are pre-converted from S-57 format and have been approved by
the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency of Germany (BSH). It acknowledged
that directENC provides "a complete storage and availability of information content
of ENC data format S-57, Edition 3.1 without changes and losses". This means that
directENC can be used officially for distribution of the ENC data.
