TADS developed by Wärtsilä Voyage in partnership with the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO), delivers global chart coverage in the special converted format called SENC (Navi-Sailor 4000 ECDIS only) or standard ENC format (to all other ECDIS users) with a range of carefully considered additional data services.

Official Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC) data is the only format approved for use in an ECDIS system. It plays a huge role in the reliability and accuracy of your navigation system, so receiving chart data from your ECDIS manufacturer means you benefit in terms of both operation and support, save time and increase safety.

Wärtsilä perform the ENC to SENC conversion before sending the chart data to the vessel. This allows Wärtsilä to test and validate the data as well as relieve the onboard personnel from the time‑consuming conversion to SENC.
