By definition, 'ENC' refers to an official electronic chart, produced in the S-57 format and encrypted using the S-63 standard. Anything else must use the term 'electronic chart', or similar. ENC can be used on systems ranging from full Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems.

Unlike paper charts which are only purchased once, until a new edition is published or a chart is cancelled, electronic charts are purchased through a license system called ?permits?. Permits are used to control the permission to use a chart. They prevent unofficial copying and distribution.

Failure to keep charts up to date is in contravention of SOLAS and puts the ship, the owner and seafarers in danger. It can also lead to action being taken by port state control officers. It is important that all notices to mariners are noted, including T&Ps, NavWarnings and local notices on the charts.

3 System Electronic Navigational Chart (SENC) means a database resulting from the transformation of the ENC by ECDIS for appropriate use, updates to the ENC by appropriate means and other data added by the mariner.

The life cycle for an ENC includes source data assessment and verification, product compilation, validation and publication, followed by continuous product maintenance and finally termination. This is a complex procedure where quality processes must be integrated.

SENC stands for System Electronic Navigational Chart. When an ENC is loaded into the system, it becomes a SENC. ECDIS converts ENC data into its own internal SENC format for optimal chart image creation. SENC data can differ between manufacturers.
