I have data in S57 format coming from the UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) which I need to read into FME.

When I try to read them in I get the following error message:

 

DE4OS09G.000 isn't an S-57 data file, or catalog.

Failed to obtain any schemas from reader 'S57' from 1 datasets. This may be due to invalid datasets or format accessibility issues due to licensing, dependencies, or module loading.

 

I tried to read them with FME 2022.0.0.2 (20220518 - Build 22343 - WIN64), and as I point out in the question, the access to the files is restricted. There is at least an UPN (User Permit Number) needed to read the data. I do have one, but no possibility in FME to make use of it.

Hello @Thomas Becker​ , are you trying to read S57 or S63 data? Unfortunately, FME isn't capable of reading encrypted S57 files, unless you're able to decrypt it first (this information can be found here, see the first question listed in the Q+A Section). Let me know if you have any other related questions. Happy to help, Kailin.
