The Danish Geodata Agency has now finalised the 2025 ENC production for Greenland. The work has been carried out within the framework of the agreement with the Government of Greenland, and all agreed ENC products for 2025 have now been released via the Danish Geodata Agencys official distributors. The new and updated charts support a robust navigational foundation in some of Greenland’s most heavily trafficked waters.
New data transformed into more detailed nautical charts
In 2025, priority has been given to new ENC coverage in the areas around the towns of Upernavik, Uummannaq and Sisimiut. Newly acquired hydrographic survey data, a more detailed coastline, and an increased number of recorded rocks and shallow waters have now been incorporated into the ENC’s.
“This year’s ENC production incorporates the available surveys and data from the areas that are now covered by electronic navigational charts. This helps provide users with a more up-to-date and detailed navigational and data foundation for sailing in the affected waters,” says Allan Idd Jensen, Head of Divisoin at the Danish Geodata Agency.

Flexible production and continuous release
The production of ENC’s for Greenland is carried out within the framework of the current agreement between Greenland and Denmark, which sets the overall direction for nautical charting activities. As individual charts have been completed, they have been made available on an ongoing basis through the Danish Geodata Agency’s official distributors. With the completion of the final products of the year, the entire 2025 production has now been released, and the latest surveys and data have been converted into updated ENCs for the covered areas.
