To support our Members with their transition from S-57 to S-101, we have developed an ENC Conversion Readiness Service to ensure that their S-57 ENCs are optimised for conversion to S-101.
This service includes the following components:
A set of conversion readiness checks - performed on all base cell (new edition, new cell) validations, with recommended action provided in the validation feedback report. “Conversion readiness” feedback has been provided on more than 10,000 base cell validations since the checks were introduced in July 2022
Sample S-57 to S-101 conversion assessments - conversion of a sample size of a Member’s ENC folio to provide an overall picture of “conversion readiness”. This has been a great opportunity to get the Validation Team involved and building their knowledge of S-100, specifically S-101 as we prepare for the “dual fuel” period
S-101 trial dataset assessment – this is the assessment of S-101 trial datasets sent to IC-ENC, with feedback provided in a report. This includes validation against S-101 ingest and registration checks and SevenCs Analyzer, followed by loading into COTS tools and S-100 Viewers, S-57 vs S-101 comparison checks and finally an assessment report for each dataset with findings/recommended action to take
S-100 validation tool testing - to provide Members with an overview of the main S-100 validation tools so that they can make an informed decision on which software tools to use for their S-100 production
S-100 Knowledgebase - to provide conversion and validation errors from S-100 COTS tools for Members to refer to
Technical Conference (TC) - subgroup of the Steering Committee, which fully embraces our community ethos and provides IC-ENC S-100 service/Industry S-100 production tooling updates to Members and for Members to share S-1XX production experiences across the membership
