A step by step guide to ordering and correcting charts on ECDIS

Written by Capt Rajeev Jassal on February 29, 2016

Many believe ECDIS has changed the way we navigate our ships. Rightly so, after all we see our ship all the times on the chart. No more worries of plotting the ship's position manually and no chances of human error in plotting the positions on paper chart. But there are many of us, who do not still agree with this. They argue that shrinking the width and height of paper chart to a 21 inch screen can bring too many confusions. They also argue that ECDIS should not be primary means of navigation till the time all ambiguities are eliminated and procedures streamlined. Which side do you see yourself ? Step by step guide for ECDIS In this post I am trying to streamline some of the procedures related to ECDIS. I strongly believe that if we deal with the ECDIS with correct approach, it would not be that difficult as it might look, specially to the seafarers working with the ECDIS for the first time. The correct approach is comparison with the paper chart. After all that is what ECDIS is replacing. I believe if everyone deal with ECDIS with that approach, it will just be a cake walk. So What all things we can do on paper charts? If we know how to do each of this on ECDIS, we know most about ECDIS. We order the paper charts for the voyage We keep the charts corrected upto latest notices to mariners. We apply any navigational warni...

  • Igor April 28, 2016
    Hi! I was looking for GMDSS test procedures and found your amazing article. Good job, Cap! All other info is also great. But regarding ENC permits I'm not sure about: "After importing the cell permit, The ENC of the desired voyage would be available in the ECDIS." From my experience and particularly with JRC after installing all required permits you have to install all ENC again so that ECDIS could activate new ENCs.

    Rajeev Jassal April 29, 2016
    Hi Igor..Glad you liked the content.. Regarding Importing ENC on ECDIS.. I never faced the requirement to import it twice to have it viewed. Can it be because of old software version of ECDIS that you might have ? May be other readers can highlight if they are facing similar thing.

    Hello Sir, very Much informative and i put a printed copy for other officers reference too. Sir could you please elaborate Regarding Base Cd's which contains Base cells as i understand. I want to know what are those Base Cells and why do we need to run these Base Cds. Second Sir,Once i have uploaded new permits for the voayge and do i need to run the Base Cds too thereafter. Thanks And Regards.

  • Ashwani Choudhary May 30, 2016
    Great work sir. I just want to know dat can we have only one file of ENC permits for master and backup ECDIS
    1

    Rajeev Jassal May 31, 2016
    No Ashwani we cannot because each permit has the ID of the ECDIS to which it will be applicable. This is set by the ENC provider so that no one can use the same permit key multiple times. To certain extent it also brings some security in handling the ENC data.

  • Thomas Charley July 10, 2016
    How can we find EN Charts from a given BA Chart No. for example I have BA Chart 2888 & 2889 how can I find equivalent EN Chart. Please advise.
    1

    Rajeev Jassal July 12, 2016
    The simple answer is..We cannot find. Also the boundaries of a BA paper chart and EN chart (Cell) will in most cases be not same. That is if you find ENC that cover common area that of a BA chart, the ENC would most likely will not cover the exactly same area as the BA chart. ENCs are totally different from the BA paper charts.

  • Mukesh July 29, 2016
    We are receiving permit file every week via email by UKHO. I want to know if we have to apply this permit every week to ECDIS before we apply the weekly update which we generate from chart correction software.Please advise.
    3

    Rajeev Jassal July 31, 2016
    This file will be from your ENC provider and not from UKHO. This is the permits of all the ENC that are valid. So after applying this permit all your expired permits will be removed and only valid ENCs permit will be there in your ECDIS. Applying this permit has one advantage. When you apply weekly corrections from chart (after applying the permit), you will not get errors of ENC expired. Even if you do not apply this permit, the Valid ENC permit list is automatically updated when you ask for new permit and apply them upon receiving. Don't forget to delete the old permit before applying this permit.

    Mukesh August 5, 2016
    thanks for your above reply.So there is no harm if we do not apply permit every week is that correct? We will apply only once we order new ENC cell.will it be ok?

  • Mukesh July 29, 2016
    Second thing i want to know suppose for example at sea we are updating ECDIS weekly through chart correction software and the latest weekly update we applied is 30/2016 .After applying this correction vessel arrives in port where we receive AVCS DVD for 29/2016.So in this case do we need to update our base cells or not.If yes , then after applying this DVD do we need to update again the correction for 30/2016?
    9

    Rajeev Jassal July 31, 2016
    No.. after updating with the DVD, it will not remove the latest correction so no need to apply again.

    Mukesh August 5, 2016
    Thanks for your above reply.As per the things u discussed above about the ECDIS , you mentioned that DVD(Base cells) is used to update base cells same like as we receive any new edition of paper chart.So in the case of paper chart, we apply all weekly corrections after new edition of that chart was issued.What about in case of ECDIS then?

    what to do if the enc shows in legend have license but not installed in im using furuno ecdis
    2

    Rajeev Jassal August 7, 2016
    Harvey.. I have not worked on Furuno ECDIS but you should not hesitate to send emails to your ENC provider, correction provider (Chartco) or even Furuno through company about any error you may not be able to resolve. We sometimes hesitate to use these resources but there is no reason to hesitate.

    digjuv September 8, 2016
    You have license or permit but you don't have ENC.. Insert your latest based DVD and check if your public key is the latest public key.

  • Eyad August 6, 2016
    Good Day Capt : Thanks for the value information. I still have some issue which confuse me and I really need your assistance. . I use JRC ECDIS and Voyger planning station .. I have sent a requesion for the expired cell permits and I received as you mentioned above on a zipped file and tkt No. .. I've installed the permit but the matter is that the log shows that the license will be expired in less than 30 days whole I am doing the requestiion I put a period for six months and which confirm that is the schedule A . and do you have idea how can I update this permits on the planning station in order to keep my chart updates ?or it will be updated automatically via the usual weekly update ?and what about the tkt key for what shall I use it? pls can I keep in touch with via Email ..Thanks a lot for you cooperation .
    1

    Rajeev Jassal August 7, 2016
    I could make out these queries raised by you Eyad. 1) You ordered for 6 month license and ENC shows validity as 30 days. 2) How to update permits on voyage planning station. The issue of validity can easily be sorted out from your ENC provider by email but looks like either the permit was not installed correctly or the permit for this ENC was not included. Check the error log for the time you had installed this permit. Also you need to delete the previous permit before installing new one. Regarding voyage planning station, you need to tell it what all ENCs you have so as to give you the corrections for the ENCs. For that you need to apply the permit on this station too.

  • Vitaly August 13, 2016

  • ELANGO September 22, 2016
    Good day Capt and thank you for well written article. I like to clarify the meaning of automatic update of ECDIS ENC. I understand that the ECDIS gets the update download directly through server without human intervention. So, the question is any human input required to import update into ECDIS like how it is done in semi-automatic update? Or, is import of update into ECDIS also done automatically? I thank you very much for your expert advise. Elango (Malaysia)

    Rajeev Jassal October 9, 2016
    Though I never had my hands on full automatic system but I guess there is no human intervention required on these.

    Sir its a great online help for those looking in detailed information regarding ecdis. Sir i hve new ecdis installed onboard. i hve understood that how to order chart permits but i dont know about the Base CDs .when we require to install base cds. Please explain Sir . Hope it would also be helpful for others.
    3

    Rajeev Jassal October 16, 2016
    You will be receiving base CDs every month or so. Whenever we receive this CD we need to apply this to ECDIS. Also if you have many pending base CDs you need to apply only the latest one.

    Dario October 31, 2016
    Good day captain. We receive on board new version passage manager 6.0. After instalation louse all previous data, and our outfit is empty. How to make settings, insert valid permits in pass manager, and make in that way that we receive direct update throw the Internet? Thnks in advance..

  • kartik November 11, 2016
    Sir, Thanks for explaining in deatil. I would like to add about applying correction on ECIS through UKHO site , If we dont have chartco or any other services for AVCS. We can download the weekly correction from ukho web site through this link .Downloading updates via the FTP site our public FTP website with the following login credentials (the username and password details are case sensitive). URL: FTP://ukho.gov.uk​ Username: ukhopublic Password: Public12345​. Once you log in to the site. Go to digital Product Update > AVCS S 63 > AVCS WEEKLY EXCHANGE SET. Then download the required week correction. Once dowloaded unzip the file and save in a folder ( eg WK 45). Then On JRC ECDIS click on ENC&ARCS chart folio then click OK. Insert Pen drive Into ECDIS USB slot. Go to " TOOL" in top menu. Choose " OPTION" then click " ADVANCED TAB". Then click on three dots (...) next to S-57/S-63 ( offline). Choose drive and USB folder. Click 3 times OK button. Click AUTO DETECT. Click IMPORT/UPDATE button. So now you have all cells upto date. On completion go back to ADVANCED TAB choose drive Q as you will have problem to update ECDIS from CD- ROM at later stage. Sir the above procedure was just to Add to your efforts of Helping fellow seafarers . Thanks

    Rajeev Jassal November 11, 2016
    Thanks Kartik for this wonderful insight. I want to add one point to this.. We have to look into the SMS manual to ensure that corrections collected manually through UKHO websites are allowed. Many company does not allow the ship staff to collect these corrections. Even when these are requires, these need to be collected by the marine superintendent, who will pass this to the vessel.

  • Prasad November 20, 2016
    Sir, I am presently sailing. Just took yard delivery of vessel. We have Furuno Ecdis. Navtor is the service provider for Ecdis . I ordered permits thru UK hydographic catalogue. Once. They wants directly thru Ecdis. How to order permits directly from chats. Manual its not clear. Thank u ....prasad

    Rajeev Jassal December 8, 2016
    Prasad.. I have not worked with Navtor. You will not find this information in Furuno manual. You should email Navtor about this for the procedure to order permits. I know there are two ways to order permit. One is "route based" and second by cell number. I am not sure what plan your company has taken for your ship. But email Navtor will solve your problem.

  • ROD January 10, 2017
    Good day sir. I have question about my JRC ECDIS onboard and this is my first time to use this kind of Ecdis. First question is, I have my ENC charts expired from Ecdis and i already deleted those expired charts but if I click Tool then Option then s-63/AVCS, I found a message saying " You have 2500 chart(s). 1120 chart(s) license has (have) expired". But I delete already those expired charts. Please advise.

    Rajeev Jassal January 10, 2017
    I think you need to update the cell inventory in the ECDIS. Your ENC provider most likely send this as a permit file by email every week. Let me know if this helped.

    ROD January 11, 2017
    Thank you for the reply sir. One more thing sir, Do i need a base CD for installing a new permits on JRC ECDIS? For info. i used to order ENC chart with Navtor online.

  • Fu Tang January 19, 2017
    Amazing explanation Capt., fantastic narratives, like an intriguing presentation. I'm a 3rd mate about to take on the next roll, I've read the 'using AVCS with JRC ECDIS' guide, generated some doubts: 1. ECDIS itself contains cells initially? If a brand new ECDIS, after loading the latest base CDs, all locked cells are loaded into ECDIS? or should I say, after loading the latest base CDs, all locked cells are 'floating' inside ECDIS which means they doesn't occupy capacity of the disk, only after loading the permits for desired route, corresponding cells 'fall into places' and occupy the disk capacity. 2. what's the difference between 'deleting ENC data' and 'ENC permits', ENC and permit can only come and go together or they can survive without each other? 3. what exactly is public key-IHO.CRT? it should be installed every time before chart correction or AIO correction or else? 4. what is S-57 and S-63 in plain words? and what's the difference between 'S-57 source/system chart' and 'S-63 source/system chart' ? 5. can you elaborate AIO update procedures as well?
    1

    Rajeev Jassal January 25, 2017
    1. You are right. We can say that all the charts (base cells) are already there in the ECDIS. It just require permit file to unlock it. 2) Deleting ENC permit just deletes the permit and not the base cells. It takes base cell + permit file to show the ENC on ECDIS 3) Public key-IHO CRT is for security. In simple language it detects if you are using the approved ENCs only and not some copied version which may not be good for navigation. It only need to be installed whenever a new version is released 4) S-57 and S-63 are the standard formats in which ENCs are built. Some ENCs may be built with S-57 standard and some with S-63 standard but both are IHO standards. All ECDIS equipments are made to read these ENCs made on these common standards 5) AIO update procedure is there in this blog but I will try to elaborate that in some future blog.

  • Mukesh January 25, 2017
    hello sir.we have voyager software for chart maintenance.latest weekly permit received onboard is 03/2017.Latest DVD received was 51/2016.I extracted weekly update from voyager from 52/2016 to 03/2017.Weekly update is not getting updated in ECDIS. then i deleted all permits and cells from ECDIS and put latest permit and then i inserted DVD for 51/2016 , there were 51 cells that need updation.Then after that I applied weekly update from 52/2016 to 03/2017.But ECDIS is still showing that 51 cells need updation.When I put this weekly update from voyager in ECDIS it shows me that "insert base media 3 or browse for this date exchange set".can you please help me out.thanks.

    Rajeev Jassal January 25, 2017
    What is the make of ECDIS ? When you apply the weekly correction, do it show some error ? Check the progress log. If any error, send the message to voyager mentioning that error.

  • Ron February 5, 2017
    Hi all! Is it possible to remove due enc cells (colored orange) in chartco? Thanks
    1

    Rajeev Jassal February 5, 2017
    Chartco need to have same inventory as in ECDIS. If there are some expired ENC showing in chartco, these will be removed when you apply the latest permit file to the ECDIS and chartco. The permit file is usually received weekly from the ENC provider via email. As due ENC cells are still valid, these will not (& should not be removed). If for some reason this is required to be removed, we can get in touch ENC provider and ask them to update the inventory by removing these cells. They will remove these cells and send the updated permit file. This permit file when applied to chartco and ECDIS will not have the due ENC. Let me know if you find any other information on this.

    Rajeev Jassal March 28, 2017
    In chartco computer, go to My computer -> C drive -> Chartco -> archive -> Passage Manager -> ENC -> Processed. These are the previous updates and one or more of these are not applied. Copy and shift the ones you think may not have been applied to the folder where you get the updated after collecting from Chartco. Collect these in USB and apply to ECDIS. Let me know if this worked.

  • SANDEEP RANA June 24, 2017
    Good day Captain, really appreciate all the efforts you have taken for assisting the seafaring community. Kindly care to clarify this doubt of mine. As mentioned earlier in one the replies you have mentioned that before applying a new permit the old permit has to be deleted. Later in another one of the replies it has been mentioned that on application of weekly permit file the old expired permits get removed automatically. Could you please clarify if this removal of expired permits needs to be done manually or happens automatically on applying the weekly permit file.

    Rajeev Jassal June 29, 2018
    Actually it depends on ECDIS make. In JRC we have to delete the permit before installing a new one. On Furnuo, it gets deleted automatically. The newer version of JRC ECDIS may not require it to be deleted. So we must check if it is required to be deleted on your ECDIS or not.

    Rajeev Jassal June 29, 2018
    The charts are required to be updated for permanent as well as T&P corrections. If T&P are not updated with AIO, we need to find a way to update these. I cannot think of any other way than updating it manually.

I want to know if I miss approch chart but that area already covered with another chart.In that case what problem I will face?I using the large covered area one and don't have the charts in between that chart. I don't face any problem. As I got zooming is not a problem in AVC'S ENC.Is it okay.If not please suggest me.

    Rajeev Jassal June 29, 2018
    Zooming may look OK but it may be missing with some vital information. We need to use large scale ENCs to navigate. For overview of the area, we need to have small scale ENCs too.

    Hello sir ... Very good blogs .. how we will come to know that our ENC on ECIDS are updated ? What are the errors in Ecdis??
    1

    Rajeev Jassal June 29, 2018
    We need to check the log. If there is no errors, then the ENCs are update. Apart from that we need to randomly cross-check the ENC update number of few ENCs.

    Capt sir, when we receive weekly permits, do we have to delete the permit in the jrc ecdis before loading the new permit file? In furuno, deleting is not necessary. Do i have to delete the previous permit in jrc? Can i not go directly to load permit?
    1

    Rajeev Jassal June 29, 2018
    Yes. I have noticed on JRC ECDIS that if you do not delete the permit first, changes from new permits will not show up. So we need to delete the old permit from JRC ECDIS and then install new permit.

  • 2m jm gaviola July 3, 2018
    Thank you for your quick response sir. I have another question. When applying updates on jrc ecdis, is it best to un-tick the option to “view old edition”? This option can be seen on the ARCS/ENC CHART PORTFOLIO, under the “view” tab

For T&p notices we can verify it from Admiralty t&p in force or cancelled list. But how we should approach for deleting EP notice when it is automatically removed from AIO?

    Congratulations on a detailed and informative blog. Just a small note, AIO has nothing to do with member nations including T & P's in their ENC's. Its a Admiralty service covering all paper chart T &P's. The Section which you quote under "T & P corrections Section" is independent of AIO.
