Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC) is the official chart data compiled for ECDIS systems in accordance with SOLAS regulations. Before the ENCs can be presented in the ECDIS, they must be converted to the system’s own internal format, which creates System Electronic Navigation Charts (SENC).
Transas performs the conversion to SENC before sending the data to the vessel. This allows us to test and validate the data as well as relieve the onboard personnel from the time consuming conversion to SENC.
