Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) is often compared to radar due to its use of electromagnetic waves to detect objects. However, lidar uses light waves (laser pulses) rather than radio waves. Lidar is frequently used for creating high-resolution, 3D maps of landscapes, forests, and other environments. It is particularly effective for mapping terrain, detecting vegetation, […]
Calibration of a marine gyrocompass is crucial to ensure accurate heading data. Over time, the gyrocompass may drift or accumulate errors, affecting its performance. Proper calibration aligns the compass to true north, ensuring that the vessel’s navigation system can provide precise heading information. This process involves adjustments to correct the errors caused by environmental factors […]
The SOLAS Convention mandates the installation of gyrocompasses on vessels above a certain size and category to enhance navigational safety. These instruments provide reliable and accurate heading information, critical for collision avoidance, voyage planning, and compliance with safety management systems. SOLAS regulations are aimed at minimizing human error and technical failures, and a well-maintained gyrocompass […]

Target detection radar systems are designed to detect and identify objects or targets in the radar’s environment. Using electromagnetic waves, these systems analyze the reflected signals to determine the presence, location, and movement of objects. Target detection radar is commonly used in military applications, air traffic control, and marine navigation to ensure the safe identification […]
Fishing vessels benefit greatly from the use of marine gyros, which help stabilize the ship and reduce the rolling motion caused by waves. By counteracting the effects of rough seas, marine gyros ensure that fishing operations can continue smoothly and safely, even in challenging conditions. This is particularly important for smaller fishing vessels, where stability […]
Maritime regulations across the globe mandate the use of reliable navigational equipment like the gyrocompass. Commercial vessels must be equipped with a gyrocompass to ensure accurate heading information, especially during long voyages and in areas where magnetic deviation is prevalent. These instruments are essential for ECDIS, radar overlays, and compliance with IMO safety regulations. Failure […]
