Developing and changing technology affects all sectors globally. Although it primarily affects
information systems digitally, it affects all sectors indirectly. Maritime transport, the most important
transportation mode in the world, is affected by technological progress as seafarers, ships, and ports.
When used for its intended purpose, the technology employs intelligent and rational solutions based
on the logic of identifying previous errors and developing predictions accordingly. Maritime
transportation is the movement of ships between ports safely and without harming the environment.
The sea is a dynamic surface not previously exposed to fixed effects and is affected by meteorological
and environmental conditions. As the international maritime authorities keep pace with technological
advancements, they have embraced the e-navigation concept, a digital revolution that is set to
transform the industry. This shift to Electronic Navigation requires all operations to be digital, making
transmission easier and more efficient. It also mandates uninterrupted and high-quality digital
communication with ships' land facilities during the entire voyage. ECDIS, one of the advanced
automation technology products used for e-navigation, and the vector map ENC it uses are of great
importance. ENC maps are produced with specific standards. S-100, which is described as the latest
and most advanced standard, provides sailors with good opportunities for safe navigation and
communication. The study has been prepared to explain e-navigation types of equipment, their
standards, and how they communicate according to cyber security.
