Hi Ross, Esri does not provide the chart data.  You can purchase this through Admiralty Maritime Data Solutions by finding a local distributor https://www.admiralty.co.uk/how-to-buy?title=&field_new_avcsonline_value%5B1%5D=1 There are vector as well as raster options but it typically comes down to the license agreement and what you are trying to do with the data.    Are you looking for vector data to load into a geodatabase for analysis?  Or are you looking for raster data as a web service that you can use as a basemap?    Here's a public site from NOAA  that displays S-57 ENC datasets as web services.  You can search NOAA ENC Online in ArcGIS Pro's catalogue pane to load this MapServer into your project as an example.  This service uses the ArcGIS Maritime Server Extension.   The ArcGIS Maritime Server Extension can also load the UKHO AVCS S-63 datasets if you require hosting them yourself.   Looking forward to your reply. Thanks, Tom ... View more

Yes, maritime@esri.com is correct.   I sent you my email in a direct message if you still need to contact me. ... View more

Hello, Great to hear that you have successfully extended the ArcGIS Maritime desktop solution to include your extra objects and attributes. If by viewing in ArcGIS Pro, you mean the ENC Layer, there is no current capability to extend the portrayal.  However, you can extend the the S57DataDictionary.xml and S52 lookup tables.  By default, they are located at C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ENC    You can add your new objects and attributes to the S57DataDictionary.xml.  This will allow them to be recognized when using the Explore tool.    You can update the lookup tables to include your new objects and potential attribute combinations as well.  By default the new objects will display as magenta "?" symbols if not found in those tables.  Since you are unable to add new symbols, you will have to use an existing symbol in the lookup table to display the feature.   If you require more detailed steps on how to do this, then please email the maritime team at maritime@esri.com and I can assist.   As for ArcGIS Maritime Server, you can extend and add new S-52 symbols.   Similar to the ENC Layer in Pro, you have the S57DataDictionary.xml and S52 lookup tables.   By default, they are located at C:\arcgisserver\directories\maritimeserver\maritimechartservice\controlfiles    As for S-52 symbols, you will need to create them yourself, we do not have an S-52 symbol editor, nor do I know where one exists.   I do know other people have created symbols and plugged them into our solution.  Some just took an existing symbol and modified the values.  My recommendation is to do that and review the S-52 documentation on symbology for guidance.  S-52 PresLib Ed 4.0.3 Part I_Clean.pdf and S-52 PresLib Ed 4.0.3 Part I Addendum_Clean.pdf.  Refer to https://iho.int/en/standards-and-specifications if you don't have those documents. Once you create the new symbols you just put them in the symshow folder, default location is C:\arcgisserver\directories\maritimeserver\maritimechartservice\controlfiles\S52PresentationLibrary\symshow and link them to your new entries in the S-52 lookup tables you modified.  C:\arcgisserver\directories\maritimeserver\maritimechartservice\controlfiles\S52PresentationLibrary\lookup If you are adding new S-57 Objects, those objects when entered into the S-52 lookup tables will need to be assigned a view group.  If you create new view groups, then you will need to make sure those values are also added to the S52DisplayProperties.xml file at the bottom in the ViewingGroups sections.   Then verify they are in an existing range under the ParameterGroup name = ViewOverGroups.  This defines the layers that are created when you start the Maritime Chart Service's map service.  If they are not part of one of the layers, then those features cannot be turned off in the display.  This is all part of S-52 and defined in the documents I mentioned.   In order to see the new symbols, you must delete and rebuild your senc files.   If you require more detailed steps on how to do this, then please email the maritime team at maritime@esri.com and I can assist.

Hi Songqin,  I sent you a direct message on this.  Please see that message and contact me directly to discuss if this is still an issue.   Any resolution will be posted here for the general community. ... View more

What version of ArcGIS Pro (with patches) and ArcGIS Maritime server extension with patches are you using in this scenario?     Can you load the associated MapServer endpoint into your map and access the display properties? In your Catalog pane, through Portal, search ArcGIS Online using "esrimaritime wms" and load the ChartOnDemand ENC WMS service.  Does that work?   ... View more

Hello, I just sent you a private message to connect on this issue.  I believe it has to do with two incompatible file structures that are causing our cataloging process to miss some of the update files.  In either case I'll need to discuss this over the phone to work through a few scenarios with you. Thanks, Tom ... View more

Hi Russell, I manage the ArcGIS Maritime server extension that you are using and would be happy to help answer any additional questions you might have.   It appears that you have been able to add our endpoints now.  Since we are a Server Object Extension (SOE), our MapServer and WMSServer endpoints are further down from the parent map service.  You should be able to add the WMSServer from Maritime Chart Service (MCS) to any OCG WMS compliant system.   You can also reach me direct using our maritime@esri.com alias and I'm happy to assist via a conference call as well if you have additional questions about our capabilities. ...

Thanks @UmeshRai508, I'm glad it helped .  Please let me know if there's anything else you would like to discuss related to ArcGIS Maritime server extension. ... View more

Hi Mingi, There are a few options depending on your specific needs. 1. As long as those S-57 datasets aren't encrypted with S-63 you can load them into ArcGIS using ArcGIS Maritime  This solution is primarily for production but can be used for many other purposes as well. 2. In ArcMap you have the Esri S-57 Viewer add-on.  This allows you to view S-57 datasets in ArcMap.  Publishing services is not supported.  S-63 encrypted datasets are not supported. 3. If you have S-63 encrypted data or require web services, then you will need to use ArcGIS Maritime Server Extension There is also an additional webinar about the extension. Please let me know if you have additional questions. Tom ... View more

Hi Giorgio,  I hope you are doing well.  In the past, C-MAP only provided their propriety C-98 formatted ENC datasets that required a plugin for ArcMap.  Now we have ArcGIS Maritime Server Extension (Maritime Chart Service MCS) customers using C-MAP data.  MCS only supports standard S-57/S-63 datasets, so C-MAP must be providing that option now.   If your customer requires the use of S-63 encrypted datasets, they will still be required to use MCS to publish map services and bring those into ArcGIS Pro.  ...
