Skip to product information
NOAA discontinued all of its traditional paper charts, completing the process on December 5, 2024. They were replaced by new (reschemed) versions of electronic navigational charts (ENC), which had been in use for over 15 years in ocean shipping but had not been used much by recreational and other commercial mariners. ENC contain much more information than paper charts do, they are easier to keep up to date, and they add notable safety features to navigation-each chart is a dynamic prescription for drawing the chart that knows where all hazards lie, and therefore our electronic chart system (ECS) in use can warn us of their approach. But ENC look different and are structured differently than paper charts. The safe use of ENC requires new knowledge on charts and chart reading. This booklet is a quick guide to how to use these powerful electronic charts, which are now what we mean when we say "nautical chart."
