MAGNETIC COMPASS ADJUSTMENT SERVICE
Professional Magnetic compass adjustment for Vessels
The magnetic compass is an essential navigation instrument used on ships to determine the vessel’s heading using the Earth’s magnetic field. It remains a reliable backup navigation tool even with modern systems such as Gyro Compass, Radar, and ECDIS, making it important for safe marine navigation. Due to the vessel’s steel structure, electrical equipment, and environmental conditions, the compass may develop magnetic deviation errors. Regular magnetic compass adjustment helps maintain accurate heading information and ensures compliance with international maritime safety regulations.
