FAQ
000 to SHP Conversion
What are 000 files?
000 is the file extension of the base data of an electronic navigational chart (ENC) in the IHO S-57 format, the international standard of the International Hydrographic Organization for the exchange of digital sea charts. Each file is one chart cell, a piece of the sea and coast with its depth areas, depth contours, soundings, coastline, buoys, lights, wrecks, and other marks, stored as points, lines, and areas with attributes. National hydrographic offices publish these cells for ships, which load them into navigation systems. When a chart changes, the office does not reissue the whole cell, but sends small update files with the extensions .001, .002, and so on, which are applied to the base file in order.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
