Hello @gha_bby ,

Online tutorials are not available at this time. If you simply want to visualize the ENC data as a paper chart, then I recommend you:

Create a file geodatabase
Import the workspace XML, NAUTICAL_CHART_TEMPLATE_GX.XML, located at Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\MaritimeCharting\Desktop10.8\Charting\Schemas\Workspace
Import the ENC cell using the Import S-57 to Geodatabase geoprocessing tool
Use the Chart Automation geoprocessing tool in the Nautical Cartography tool box to create the paper chart

If you are looking for paper chart production documentation, then we have several guidebooks. They are located at: https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/extensions/maritime-charting/what-is-the-arcgis-for-maritime-charting-.htm

Are you able to use ArcGIS Pro? ArcGIS Pro does not require a Product Library so the setup is simplified. If you have ArcMap, you should also have access to ArcGIS Pro.

My license doesn’t support ArcPro so I’m currently working with Arcmap.
