"To Save S-100" Article Questions S-100's Practicality
15-JAN-2026
News
A recently published article, "To Save S-100," presents a critical analysis of the hydrographic community's transition to the S-100 standards, the next generation of digital nautical data. The author challenges the core arguments in favor of the new format, asserting that it does not deliver the claimed enhancement in navigational safety.
The focus is placed on the potential risks associated with the prohibition on the joint use of current electronic navigational charts (S-57) and new data in S-100 formats, such as S-102 bathymetry. The author argues that this restriction could deprive navigators of vital hazard information.
The proposed solution is to allow compatibility between old and new data formats to ensure a smooth and safe transition. The article calls for a reevaluation of the practical aspects of S-100 implementation, prioritizing the needs of the end users — the mariners.
The full publication is available on the website.
