IC-ENC has selected the new ChartWorld eGlobe G2 ECDIS as a tool to provide
their 37 member nations with to supplement ENC production and validation
processes. This will give each member Hydrographic Office the opportunity to load
their ENCs into an ECDIS in order that the maritime user's perspective can be
considered and to check its interoperability with adjacent data.
The SevenCs display engine inside the ChartWorld eGlobe G2 ECDIS is used by
30% of all ECDIS and ECS users within the SOLAS market, allowing IC-ENC and its
members to make a representative data assessment on a user friendly ECDIS,
whilst following the latest performance standards. The ChartWorld eGlobe G2
ECDIS software will be supplied to those member nations following attendance on
IC-ENC's International ENC Validation training course.
IC-ENC has delivered three International ENC Validation training courses this year,
each held in a different part of the world. The first training course was held in
Taunton, UK, in February 2015. The second was held in Wollongong, Australia, in
May, and the third course has just been delivered in Panama, Central America
during September. The course provides its members with the knowledge and skills
required to perform data validation at their home ENC production offices. The
training course runs for a period of two weeks, and runs through the entire ENC
Validation process from start to finish, as well as providing an overview of IC-ENC's
additional three core services: ENC production support, ENC distribution and ENC
revenue management. One specific element of the course is designed to enable
each user to gain the maximum benefit from the ChartWorld eGlobe G2 ECDIS.
The Slovenian Hydrographic Office commented: "The most useful parts of the
course were being able to get to know the whole process of validation from start to
finish, and meeting IC-ENC staff members and representatives of other
Hydrographic Office to exchange information and experiences amongst ourselves".
IC-ENC will be holding three further training courses in 2016, for which a further
ECDIS delivery schedule plan will be implemented.
