Why join us?

The International Hydrographic Organization’s S-100 data standards will greatly enhance the portrayal of the maritime environment. S-100 will provide a coherent framework for high-fidelity maritime data applications, which are fundamental to the shift from Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs) to digital geo-information systems. Those systems will be capable of receiving and processing information on a range of applications, including imagery and gridded data, high-density bathymetry, dynamic tidal monitoring, and surface currents.

Notwithstanding its benefits, the implementation of the new S-100 data standards alongside existing industry challenges can be difficult to manage.

Join our Countdown to S-100: Data standards in action seminar to hear more about the practicalities of S-100 and how we can support you throughout the roadmap of its implementation. There will be the opportunity to provide feedback on your own involvement with S-100, and to see a demonstration of S-100 product in application, including the conversion of S-57 to S-101.

We welcome the opportunity to openly discuss the challenges we all face and how, by working together, we can all appreciate the benefits from the implementation of S-100.
