About S57 Nautical Charts

S-57 is the IHO (International Hydrographic Organization) standard for digital nautical charts and hydrographic data. S-57 files (.000) contain chart objects such as depth contours, soundings, buoys, and coastlines as defined by the IHO Object Catalogue, and are the authoritative format for electronic navigational charts (ENCs).

You might convert from S-57 when you need to display nautical chart features in a general-purpose GIS, when analysing hydrographic data alongside other spatial datasets, or when extracting specific chart objects such as depth soundings or hazard markers for further processing.

Frequently asked questions

What chart objects are available in S-57 files?

S-57 files contain many object classes including SOUNDG (soundings), DEPCNT (depth contours), buoys, lights, coastlines, and more. Each object class is converted to a separate layer in the output.

Can I convert an ENC cell to GeoJSON?

Yes — each S-57 object class becomes a layer. When converting to GeoJSON, you can select which object class layer to export during the conversion process.

What is the coordinate reference system of S-57 data?

S-57 data uses WGS 84 geographic coordinates, so no reprojection is needed for most web mapping use cases.
