In arcmap we can view ENC S-57 format.
Do de same in Pro. Waiting for the S-100 is not a choice for us since now, and for many years, S-57 stay in place.
Having to maintain arcmap just for that is not easy.
Hi Marcel,
Are you referring to the free S-57 Viewer add-on in ArcMap? If so, then yes, that experience is currently under development in ArcGIS Pro.
If you were using ArcGIS Maritime to view your S-57 ENC data, then that is also available in ArcGIS Pro 2.6. With ArcGIS Pro 2.6 we have begun to migrate our ArcMap S-57 workflows into ArcGIS Pro.
Thanks,
Tom
So the viewer will be on 2.6 release?
Marcel, are you looking for the add-on that Tom referred to, or are you using ArcGIS Maritime? The documentation just updated today to ArcGIS Pro 2.6 (as the release date is tomorrow) so you can see What's new in ArcGIS Pro 2.6—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation . Ctrl+F 'S-57' to see the tools added in this release.
Please still confirm though if it is the viewer that you are specifically looking for. Thank you!
Not arcgis maritime. Just the add-on viewer.
Hello all,
I would second Marcel's request. NOAA/NGS/RSD personnel have relied on the free S-57 Viewer in ArcMap for a while now, and the options in Pro for viewing ENC data just don't seem to be nearly as streamlined and easy to use. We would love to see the viewer available in Pro, in fact I think it would be a big help to us in our migration from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro.
Hi Mike,
Can you explain your desired functionality (easy to use) and specifically what the Viewer does that you cannot do with, for example, the free app ArcGIS Earth using imagery layers with NOAA's ENC On Line public web map feed? https://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/ENCOnline/enconline.html is the link to the web viewer maintained by NOAA Coast Survey.
Here's a screen grab of the Gulf of Esquibel in SE Alaska I just put together in ArcGIS Earth using above plus the available World Imagery service, both with some transparency:

Hello Guy,
Thanks for the response. Desired functionality = load .000 files and render symbolized ENCs in conjunction with the rest of ArcMap's capabilities, to include loading internally produced aerial orthos and/or orthorectified satellite images from DigitalGlobe, shapefiles of previous projects, maybe other data layers as well, and compiling new vector data against the backdrop of ENCs and imagery. The S-57 Viewer in ArcMap is very streamlined and easy to use with all the data we're already working with. When we switch our workflows from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro, I would think having this viewer capability would make the switch a little easier for us. I don't think having to use a separate app to view ENCs would be a workable solution for us.
Hi Guy,
I, too, am eagerly waiting for the S-57 viewer to make it into ArcPro so that I can switch my workflow from ArcMap to ArcPro. I'd like to see the same functionality in ArcPro that is in ArcMap. Specifically, I don't want to have to create a geodatabase and import the ENC into it. I just want to be able to select individual layers (shapefiles) from the ENC .000 file and open them in my viewer. It is a quick and easy process in ArcMap.
I don't use web map feeds in my workflow because they are not a static service. My workflow requires a date stamped ENC that I can go back to months or sometimes years later. I also need the ability to change vector colors and transparency.
Hi Maryellen,
Thank you for that detail about using a 'recoverable source file' in the workflow. I can see why a live service feed may not meet your requirement.
Hello,
I am another user that had spent some time trying to find another alternative to view NOAA’s ENC charts in ArcGIS Pro, since the S-57 is not available yet. And I keep returning back to ArcMap to view my .000 files using the S-57 viewer, because some online map services symbology is not the same as the chart or they are not interactive to identify layers or features. The ENC Online map service looks very similar to the chart, but it is still a viewer without feature information.
The S-57 Viewer gives us the functionality to overlay other, imagery, coastal data layers over the ENC .000 file, quickly projecting the chart symbology for our comparisons, but also the ENC information is tied to the features source and dates. The ENC .000 file also has a date stamp and chart addition needed for our reports to document the differences.
Hello.
Do to some production changes and specification of the end products provided to NOS that also going away from paper charts, and also ArcGIS going away and we trying switch to do most of our work in single go to software ArcGIS Pro, NOAA/NGS/RSD personnel have relied on the S-57 Viewer in ArcGIS, but it become more difficult to quickly view in ArcGIS Pro and to be referenced in other software like SocetSet against our final data product.
I am also second on what Maryellen said: "Specifically, I don't want to have to create a geodatabase and import the ENC into it. I just want to be able to select individual layers (shapefiles) from the ENC .000 file and open them in my viewer. It is a quick and easy process in ArcMap."
Of course the way we moving in our production into ArcGIS Pro, geodatabase the way to go, but in meantime we need somethin equally the same in ArcGIS Pro, so we do not need to jump back and forth from one software to another.
Thanks.
Hi!
Thanks for the additional context, and in addition to this great justification for continuing support for a viewer of ENC content in Pro, I also encourage folks interested in shoreline vector extraction from imagery to sign up for the upcoming May 2021 webinar:

Hey I just found this while googling for solutions for a current issue I am having. I guess the answer is that ESRI doesn't support S-57 in ARCPRO??? When will this be supported. At the moment I am using a lot work around and having to developed stuff on my own to view S-57 products in a usable way within Arcpro.
There are a couple of ways to view S-57 in ArcGIS Pro.
1. Add the NOAA ENC Online WMS to ArcGIS Pro. You can do this from the Catalog pane by clicking on Portal, then the ArcGIS Online button and then search for NOAA ENC online WMS.
2. Use the Import S-57 to Geodatabase tool to import S-57 to a GDB (this requires ArcGIS Maritime).
https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/maritime/import-s-57-to-geodatabase.htm
We will be sharing a lyrx file that contains maritime symbology soon, which you can use with the geodatabase.
I understand that many people in this thread are really asking for the S-57 Viewer capabilities, which were available as an add-in in ArcMap. I also understand that the methods I mention above may not satisfy every use-case.
I just wanted to clarify that there are currently ways in which you can view S-57 in Pro that do not require custom development.
Viewer is nice but, can't do maths with it. Need to see data convert in feet so, still waiting for direct access in .000 s57 data. Also viewer can't give me the flexibility to check when a new digital map is release by loading it and for the worse can add CHS Enc.
Still frustrating to maintain arcmap and arcgis pro projects.
Hi, now that 2.8 is released, still no S57 support.
Hope to see it before retirement. Still have to maintain arcmap and ArcGIS Pro for each project.
Stop asking to move to pro if you can't maintain basic arcmap function. It's very frustrating.
Hi, I saw in an earlier post from @CraigTGreene that there will be a S-57 lyrx made available for us in Pro.
"We will be sharing a lyrx file that contains maritime symbology soon, which you can use with the geodatabase."
Does anyone know if this is now available and where it can be downloaded from?
We are concerned with areas not covered by the NOAA service and want to use Pro solns only.
Regards
Stephen
I can't find the post but, I think it's for the maritime version of pro, not the basic one. So for us, waiting to v3 to see if we can now move to pro or stick with arcmap.
@StephenHogg1 From the dowloand on this page:

You can use the Maritime.mapx file. This is a template ArcGIS Pro map that contains a layer file with broken data links. Open the mapx file and click on the red exclamation point next to the top layer in the Contents pane and resource it to your geodatabase. All the other layers will automatically resource to this same geodatabase.
I should tell you upfront that this symbology is not meant to replicate S-52 or INT1, it is just there to help distinguish a buoy from a beacon from a rock, and land from water, etc. It is really meant to support editing for users that are doing production. So, whether or not this is sufficient for you depends on your use case.
You may also need some fonts from me, so let me know if you see some symbols displaying as Arial font instead of a light flare, for example. Windows does a font replacement when it can't find the font it's looking for...so again, if you see something odd like that, let me know and I can send you the fonts.
Send me an email at maritime@esri.com if you have more questions or want to quickly describe your use case so I can provide you the best answer.
@MarcelSt-Germain , please email me (Craig Greene) at maritime@esri.com.
I will provide you with a zip file containing the fonts.
Again, nothing in v3 so still need two project arcmap and pro to do the job.
In my office, we are using the viewer in Desktop everyday. We're not going to be able to fully move to Pro until we have the capability there as well. So looking forward to the capability.
I will add having to flatten the folder structure to see updates is a bother. Using python to shift the files around helps, but I'd rather see all the updates regardless of which method the producer chooses to store them. Maybe if we were to point to the most recent update instead of the .000, it could more easily navigate the folder structure.
@ScottWReeves Does your office also receive/produce exchange sets with a catalog.031 file to load?
We really need this tool. No one really wants to move to Pro without it.
The Marine Chart Division currently uses the S-57 Viewer in ArcMap in our source registry and production teams. We need to have the S-57 Viewer fully integrated into ArcGIS Pro. The Viewer is used in the workflow when we register source that allows us to manage the geospatial content of the data. The Production teams need to be able to view our ENC in its native format as the mariner views it. Thanks
Watching this thread carefully in hopes that there is a solution soon for ArcPro. I need to view specific S-57 .ooo files easily, formatted and symbolized properly, and be able to overlay other data. The NOAA ENC service only provides current chart data, not discrete chart files stamped at specific past dates that I need to use. Since I am not producing charts, I don't believe I should have to purchase ArcGIS Maritime, especially when everyone is used to using a free viewer from ArcMap. I'm honestly blown away that this simple capability is not included in ArcPro, seems like a major oversight.
@GuyNoll any updated info on when this will be available?
Thanks!
ENC Chart Viewing has been moved into the Near-term group in the ArcGIS Pro Roadmap: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-documents/arcgis-pro-roadmap-june-2022/ta-p/1187498 Near-term is defined as the next release or two.
In ArcGIS Pro 3.1 ENC layers have been introduced as a new layer type. ENC layers allow you to visualize and interact with electronic navigational charts (ENCs) that conform to the S-57 standard of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO).
To learn about other new features and functionality added in 3.1, see What new in ArcGIS Pro 3.1
Yes, can't wait to see if it's working. Have to get back to 3,0,1 since 3,1 doesn't work. When ESRI will correct the bug, if it's working, we will be able to finally move away of arcmap.
For us, we only need to be able to see it, query and interrogate layers of ENC to check conversion since we use global mapper to parse ENC then export to file geo database.
You said : Then you create GDB with .xml, this will create a base for your GDB. Do you work with Nautical version of Pro? If like us with the base version, the .xml you referred to is available where? If we can save the conversion of Global mapper...
