The S-57 Tools toolset provides tools that allow you to import and export S-57 data as well as create S-57 products and exchange sets.
Tool | Description |
---|---|
Imports an S-57 file into a maritime charting geodatabase. Sources that can be imported include Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC), Additional Military layers (AML), and Inland Electronic Navigational Chart (IENC). | |
Exports hydrographic data from a maritime charting geodatabase to an S-57 file. | |
Creates an AML, IENC, or ENC chart product in the ArcGIS for Maritime: Charting product library using an S-57 cell descriptive record and geometry objects. | |
An exchange set is a package of files that contains one catalog file and at least one S-57 dataset file (New Edition [EN] and/or Revised Edition [ER]). Once you have exported and published your S-57 data, you need to package the S-57 dataset files into a valid S-57 exchange set. This allows a mariner to view the Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) datasets in an Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) for shipboard navigation. |
