IHO ECS Project Team - National Hydrographic Offices |
Currently the only electronic charting products that meet SOLAS Chart Carriage requirements are ENCs used on an ECDIS (with appropriate backup arrangements) or paper chart. This leaves a gap on those ships wanting to navigate electronically using an ECS or required, by national law, to use ENC when navigating electronically.
As a hydrographic office, we would appreciate your organisation’s thoughts on this matter from the perspective of the region(s) your organisation manages. Your feedback will help us define and shape suitable solutions.
