S-101

Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC):

The S-101 is the new product spec-ification for Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) datasets. It includes most of the characteristics of the current S-57 based ENCs but with improved elements that will benefit from a more flexible framework. Compared to the S-57, the S-101 will enable easier data updating processes, software enhancements and improved symbology. Ultimately, S-101 will replace S-57 as the official chart data for ECDIS, provide the base layer for all S-100 products and underpin e-navigation services development.

Our core aim is to support authorised partners with flexible, user-friendly, efficient and timely solutions. This ensures that end users are provided with an ENC service which is recognised for its quality and for its overall contribution to marine safety and efficiency at a global level.

Headline 2

In pursuing this vision, we focus on giving our partners freedom to choose between a variety of services and solutions. The primary aim is to make data available to everyone at a reasonable cost in order to enable value creation and safety at sea.

Headline 3

Although the technology is advanced, the idea underlying our service is simple. We gather all ENCs in a single database and create a one-stop-shop for distributors and users of such charts. This has allowed us to acquire a leading role in providing the best navigational solutions for the world's merchant fleet, navies, marine pilots and government agencies. Get in touch for more information about us or read our brochure below.

"In order to enhance safety at sea and protect the maritime environment, PRIMAR's vision is to be the most efficient model for the provision of ENC services and maritime geospatial data worldwide"

Card - Rich Text - Heading 4: PRIMAR offers the infrastructure, tools and services necessary to leverage the opportunities of S-100 products and datasets

  • Flexible Infrastructure: PRIMAR’s flexible infrastructure is designed to provide end-users with the latest S-100 data quickly and efficiently.

As the latest and best data is collected continuously, PRIMAR can push the data out to pilots and other end users via a subscription service in a matter of hours, not days or weeks.
  • User-friendly self-service portals: End-users can easily download all updates relevant for their needs via PRIMAR's user-friendly self-service portal online.
  • Dual-fuel service while transitioning to S-101: While transitioning to the S-101 standard PRIMAR will make sure that current S-57-based ENCs are still available for everyone who needs them.
  • Data delivery with S-100 Part 15 encryption
  • Access via PRIMAR Online services (API)
