Electronic Nautical Chart (ENC) Production Tools

The core combination of ENC Designer, ENC Optimizer and ENC Analyzer provide all the software tools required to create a wide range of digital nautical chart products, including ENCs, IENCs, and AMLs.

Further tools and plug-ins, such as the S-57 Writer plug-in for FME from Safe Software, VPF Converter, and ENC Referencer cover standard data import requirements. 

Whilst other tools, such as Contour Generator (bathymetric contours), ENC Cartographer (paper charts from digital data) and ENC Encryptor and Permit Generator (S-63 encryption and control) cover other key aspects of the chart production and distribution work-flow.

Overall, the SevenCs ENC Tools cover the complete ENC Life Cycle.

Used by more than 30 hydrographic offices, port authorities and inland waterway authorities Worldwide, the ease of use, flexibility and cost-effectiveness of the SevenCs ENC Tools make them ideally suited to low and medium volume chart production environments, especially where there is a specialist production requirement, such as AML or port ENCs. 

Typical applications and users for the ENC Tools include:

• Small Hydrographic Services
• Port and Harbour Authorities
• Surveying Companies
• Coastal Surveillance Authorities
• Simulation Systems Manufacturers and Integrators
• Military Chart Production Units
