Why attend?

Body

The new S-100 data framework will transform the way maritime decisions are made - from enabling safer navigation, to supporting more efficient port operations. 

From 2029, all new ECDIS fitted must be capable of supporting S-100. But what does that mean in practice, and how can crews and operators prepare with confidence?

In this webinar, we'll share the latest S-100 insights, based on real-world learnings from live  sea trials and testing. You'll gain practical understanding of how S-100 data can support enhanced clarity, accuracy and precision  - and what to do next.
