Long Beach Pilots to S-102 Charts (Aug 2023)

After much testing and review, in July 2023, Jacobsen Pilots, in Long Beach California, announced that they have seamlessly transitioned to the new S-102 chart format! They stated, The S-102 charts bring a new level of accuracy to our portable electronic navigation units, increasing safety in a port where transits with minimal under keel clearances are common.

Steering the development of the S-102 Bathymetric Surface standard with the mariner in mind

The first, of a number of trials, is the S-102 project that we recently announced in collaboration with Port of London Authority (PLA) and SEAiq Pilot. This is the first real-world S-102 sea trial in the UK and also marks the first time the UKHO has run an S-100 sea trial. Working in collaboration with the PLA and SEAiq Pilot, the UKHO will test S-102 Bathymetric Surface product specifications in real-life scenarios with the PLA pilots to understand user requirements and collect their feedback. This feedback will help to influence the S-100 data standard development process, in turn improving product specifications, data coverage and the user experience.

Canadian Hydrographic Service S-102 Project

This video summarizes a project completed for the Canadian Hydrographic Service for S-102 High-Resolution Bathymetric charts in SEAiq Pilot. The participants included Maritime Simulation and Resources Center, Corporation dec Pilots du Bas Saint Laurent (Lower St Lawrence Seaway Pilots), and us. If you have S-102 charts for your area, you can contact us about enabling this support in SEAiq Pilot.
