PRIMAR Remote / Digital Service
PRIMAR Web Chart Service (WMS)
Web Map Service delivering chart images from updated ENCs to any WMS-capable browser or GIS application, for shore-based viewing and planning, not navigation.
Description
The PRIMAR Web Chart Service delivers chart images derived from the content of updated ENCs over the internet. The service generates an image of the geographic information and sends it directly to the user's mapping application, so the ENC content seen on shore matches what the captain sees on the ship's navigation equipment. It is not for navigation.

- Click a chart feature to display its S-57 attribute values
