About us
The International Centre for ENCs (IC-ENC) represents many national hydrographic offices who wish to offer a centralised and consistent database of electronic navigational charts (ENCs) to the marketplace. Operating as a regional ENC co-ordination centre (RENC), IC-ENC's mission is to deliver to its member HOs a cost-effective service designed to meet the needs of the mariner and enhance safety at sea by providing high quality, fit-for-purpose ENCs that comply with IMO and IHO standards. IC-ENC validates ENC data for consistency, with the S-57 data transfer standard, and compiles a consistent ENC database which is then made widely available. IC-ENC aims to provide services, at a low cost, to national hydrographic offices that ensure their ENCs are compliant to the international standards, consistent across the global dataset and readily available for use so that shipping can navigate safely, efficiently, and confidently, whilst ensuring other maritime users are using the same approved data. The IC-ENC headquarters is hosted here in the UK, and there are three other IC-ENC regional offices based in Australia, Brazil and United States, which contribute to the quality assurance of the ENCs. IC-ENC has a budget and governance structure which means that each of the member HOs has a voice in how IC-ENC is run and the services it provides.

IC-ENC are delighted to participate for the second time in the IHO Empowering Women in Hydrography initiative, with a project focused on eLearning. Kimberly Mason (BSH, Germany), our EWH successful candidate, has joined IC-ENC at our Headquarters in Taunton, UK, to lead on this continuous project as part of Production Support. Kimberly will be creating bitesize eLearning content on S-100 related topics to be uploaded to the IC-ENC Learning Management System (LMS). So far, Kimberly has analysed the results from the eLearning survey sent to Members in August and has begun working with a range of stakeholders, including the UKHO Digital Learning Advisor to discuss ideas and gain insight into best practices when creating eLearning content. Kimberly will now continue work with the eLearning creator Articulate 360. We are very excited to be working with Kimberly to develop her leadership and project skills as part of this EWH secondment and look forward to sharing her final eLearning modules. These modules will support Members in building their knowledge on S-100 topics.

Martha Bakry (IC-ENC Data Validator) is currently taking part in the second IC-ENC Validator Exhange in the Australian Hydrographic Office. During week one, Martha was introduced to the full Validation Service of Australian Cells. The overview gave insight into registration of source from the regional client to initial installation in type approved ECDIS. This was then followed by testing in validation software, analysis of errors, horizontal and vertical consistency checks in relation to adjacent and overlapping cells across usage bands. Martha then witnessed the use of M_CSCL and CSCALE, overlaps/gaps and holes in the catalogue, SCAMIN assignment and the display and performance of ENCs in ECDIS. There were also discussions regarding safety, mariner expectations of the products and the promotion of consistency in a seamless world wide dataset. We look forward to hearing about Martha's experiences during week two!

On 1st August 2024 IC-ENC released the 13,000th ENC into our folio. The 13,000th ENC was CL5MA770. Congratulations to Servicio Hidrográfico y Oceanográfico de la Armada (SHOA) on having the 13,000th ENCs in the folio. In collaboration between SHOA and the Argentinian Servicio de Hidrografia Naval, this ENC along with the adjoining new coverage, AR50477E, and overlying band 4 ENCs produced by these members, enhances the ENC coverage of the critical Beagle Channel to provide save navigation between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Reaching this milestone continues to demonstrate the rapid growth in IC-ENCs ENCs folio and ongoing support IC-ENC provides to each member to enhance the global ENC folio. #growth #globalpartnership #globalgrowth #solas #milestone #hydrography #safetyatsea #navigation
