Service Overview
Welcome to the Admiralty Updating Service, supplied by the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO). This Service includes both the ARCS Online Update Service (AOUS) and the ENC Online Updating Service (EOUS). This user guide is specifically designed to help you learn about the EOUS features and options available to you through use of this facility. The AOUS User Guide is available as a separate document on the CD within the Update Service\User Guides\ AOUS folder or from the UKHO website. This complimentary service has been created to provide the latest available Notices to Mariners to Licensees of ENCs, via email or web service. Voyage specific updates (rather than updates for your entire chart holding) can be downloaded, which will reduce excessive transmission costs for redundant information. Note: A Weekly Update CD will continue to be sent to you via your Admiralty Distributor in accordance with Admiralty Notices to Mariners (NMs), for the period of your licence. It is recommended that the Online Service is used in conjunction with your most recent, weekly Update CD and that after downloading remote updates that you immediately update your ECDIS/ECS display system. (See Section Writing Your ENC Online Updating Service CD). Important:
T
We strongly recommend that you keep separate permanent written records of all information that you choose to download for reference purposes, in line with SOLAS Regulation Chapter V 2002.

10. It is important that, once the CD has been written, it should be used to update your ECDIS/ENC display system. This will ensure that your EOUS application and your ECDIS/ECS display system are synchronised with the latest updates. Note: It is important, when you receive your UKHO published ENC Update CD, that this is used to update your ECDIS/ECS to ensure that all licensed cells are brought up-to-date. The UKHO published CD will contain all ENC updates (your EOUS Online Update CD will only contain voyage specific ones). The Update CD should then be installed within the EOUS system to reset the Starting from date. UKHO published ENC Update CDs contain cumulative information. If you receive more than one ENC Update CD at the same time, you only need to load the most recent one. If the information downloaded is more recent than that on your UKHO issued ENC Update CD, the most up-to-date information will be maintained and will not be overwritten. As the information is cumulative, it is most cost effective to download charts on a weekly basis to ensure file sizes are kept to a minimum.
