A marine gyrocompass repeater is a crucial component for vessels that require multiple locations to display accurate heading information. The repeater works by receiving data from the primary gyrocompass and displaying it in real-time on additional monitoring stations located around the vessel. This ensures that the crew can access navigation data from various points on […]

The solid-state gyrocompass is a modern evolution of traditional gyrocompasses, using electronic sensors instead of mechanical components. This technology offers a more compact, lightweight, and durable solution for marine navigation. Solid-state gyrocompasses are not affected by magnetic fields and provide accurate heading data, even in the most challenging environments. They require less maintenance and are […]
The Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG) is a highly advanced type of gyro used in marine navigation systems. Unlike traditional mechanical gyros, FOGs use light signals to measure changes in orientation. This technology allows for extreme accuracy and stability, making it an ideal choice for precision navigation on commercial vessels, yachts, and submarines. FOG systems offer […]
Marine gyro technology has revolutionized navigation and vessel stability. This technology relies on the principles of gyroscopic motion to provide accurate heading information and stabilize the vessel. The gyro system is capable of functioning in any condition, unaffected by magnetic fields or weather interference, unlike traditional compasses. Marine gyro technology can be found in advanced […]
Gyro stabilizers offer several advantages in terms of ship stability and onboard comfort. By counteracting the rolling motion of the ship, they help to keep the vessel level, even in rough seas. This is particularly important on smaller boats and yachts where the impact of waves can be more pronounced. Gyro stabilizers reduce seasickness among […]
There are several types of marine gyros, each designed to meet specific navigation needs. The most common types include mechanical gyros, which rely on spinning masses to maintain orientation, and solid-state gyros, which use sensors and electronic components for more compact and reliable operation. Other types include fiber optic gyros and ring laser gyros, which […]
As marine technology evolves, many trusted systems onboard vessels are declared obsolete by OEMs. But replacing an entire system can be expensive, unnecessary, and time-consuming—especially when the equipment still works well. That’s where Seanav India steps in. We specialize in sourcing and supplying both brand-new and selectively reconditioned spares specifically for obsolete marine equipment. Our […]
The function of a marine gyro stabilizer is to reduce or eliminate the rolling motion of a ship or boat caused by waves. The stabilizer uses a rotating flywheel or gyroscope, which creates a counteracting force to the vessel’s movement. As the ship rolls in one direction, the gyro’s motion provides an opposing torque, helping […]
The principle behind a marine gyrocompass is based on the concept of gyroscopic motion. A spinning rotor within the compass maintains its orientation in space due to the Earth’s rotation, providing a stable reference for true north. As the vessel moves, the rotor stays aligned with the Earth’s rotational axis, which is unaffected by the […]
A marine gyrocompass works by using the principles of gyroscopic motion to maintain a stable reference to true north. Unlike a traditional magnetic compass, which relies on the Earth’s magnetic field, the gyrocompass is unaffected by magnetic interference. The system consists of a spinning rotor that maintains a fixed orientation in space due to the […]
