ENC Updating has never been so easy!

ENC updates are crucial for keeping your vessel ECDIS compliant. As a standard update service we supply weekly customized Datema ENC update CDs or DVDs. Alternatively; digital updates are available 24/7 via our Chartplanner ordering platform. As of today we have developed a third alternative for the retrieval of digital ENC updates. This service is called ENC4SAT and is only available for vessels that have a V-SAT communication system with the capacity to download at least 50 Mb of data each week. ENC4SAT is an application developed by Datema that automatically downloads ENC updates from a designated Datema server.

How does it work?
The ENC4SAT application downloads the latest ENC chart update and lets you export this update to a USB device, allowing you to transfer the updates to the ECDIS. Provided this is done weekly, the application only downloads the differences between the 2 weekly updates and not the cumulative update file. In this way the ENC update downloads are reduced to a minimum.
