It is required that a country with a coastline produce its own electronic navigational charts (ENCs). There are only two regional ENC coordination centers, one located in Taunton, UK and the other in Stavanger, Norway, charged with ensuring world ENCs are made available to mariners. Details on costs and distributions of ENCs are discussed.
