The S-100 framework is a new global standard created by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), in collaboration with other hydrographic offices around the world, that enables the integration of diverse datasets within a single Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS).
Mariners will be able to combine various data layers with Electronic Navigational Charts including detailed depth information and dynamic information on tides and currents.
S-100 builds on the digital foundation of S-57, the standard for electronic navigational charts since 1992. The goal is to enhance situational awareness and decision-making, particularly in coastal waters and ports.
S-100-based product specifications include:
S101 - Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC)
S102 - Bathymetric Surface
S104 - Water Level Information
S111 - Surface Currents
S122 - Marine Protected Areas
S123 - Radio Services
S124 - Navigational Warnings
S128 - Catalogues of Nautical Products
S129 - Under Keel Clearance Management (UKCM)
S131 - Marine Harbour Infrastructure
S201 - Aids to Navigation Information
S411 - Ice Information
S412 - Weather Overlay
S413 - Weather and Waves Conditions
S414 - Weather and Waves Observations
S421 - Route Exchange Format
As the S-100 framework continues to evolve, its benefits could extend beyond navigation, supporting greater integration across the wider maritime
