ADMIRALTY ECDIS and ENC Reference Publications

A detailed reference guide designed to help bridge crew, trainers and those responsible for risk and safety management to gain an understanding of practical ENC use. Divided into seven chapters, content includes information on the construction of an ENC, the influence of ECDIS display settings and how they can be optimised.

This publication is available in both paper format and as an ADMIRALTY e-Nautical Publication (AENP).

The ADMIRALTY ENC and ECDIS Maintenance Record is a quick reference folder that is designed to simplify the management of paper records, helping bridge crews to clearly show inspectors and auditors that ENCs are up-to-date and maintained. Sections include: ENC update status, AIO status, cancelled and withdrawn ENCs, README file review, ECDIS maintenance and familiarisation, descriptions on how to optimise available templates and inclusion of the IHO cyber security instructions. 

As part of our wider sustainability efforts, we have redesigned the materials used for the ADMIRALTY ENC and ECDIS Maintenance Record in response to valuable feedback from our customers. This redesign seeks to minimise the environmental impact associated with producing the folders without compromising functionality.

Offers detailed explanations and descriptions of both traditional and simplified forms of ENC symbols displayed in ECDIS, ensuring bridge crews possess the knowledge needed to navigate safely. ​
