Aus ENC CST 11

Description

This official collection of Electronic Navigation Charts is produced by the Australian Hydrographic Office. It conforms to S57 IHO Standards and requires an S63 compatible system to operate. ENC are primarily produced to support the safe navigation of commercial shipping, but are equally useful for recreational vessels. ENC can, when used on a Type approved system, replace the need for paper nautical charts.

This AusENC packs contains all the Category 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 cells which overlap the area depicted in the map. The mapped area is based on the outer coverage of the category 3, 4, 5 and 6 cells within this pack. Category 1 and 2 cells are very small scale and are not shown to avoid clutter.

For extensive detail on the symbology of nautical charts, the Admiralty Guide to ENC Symbols used in ECDIS is the definitive reference.
