GMDSS safety inspection focuses on evaluating all mandatory communication and distress equipment onboard a vessel to meet SOLAS and IMO standards. This includes VHF, MF/HF, EPIRB, NAVTEX, SART, and satellite systems. Certified inspectors ensure these are functioning properly and report any deficiencies. The inspection is necessary for voyage readiness and certification renewals.
A ship radio survey checklist helps shipowners and surveyors ensure all essential communication equipment is inspected and compliant. The checklist includes items like VHF, MF/HF radios, Inmarsat terminals, EPIRBs, SARTs, NAVTEX, and power backups. It also includes license verification and operator training checks.
A marine compass audit in India involves inspecting compass accuracy, mounting, lighting, deviation correction, and service history. These audits are usually part of ISM code compliance or internal safety checks. They help ensure the vessel’s compass meets DG Shipping, SOLAS, and IMO standards.

During annual and special ship surveys, inspectors check the condition, calibration, and installation of magnetic compasses. Surveyors verify the presence of deviation cards, test lighting, and ensure proper alignment. Compasses are reviewed under national (DG Shipping) and international (IMO, SOLAS) standards. Failure to meet compass requirements can lead to detention or repair notices.
Ship compass testing is conducted to verify compass performance, deviation levels, and fluid integrity. It is part of mandatory inspections and is often required by classification societies. In India, this service is available at shipyards and via onboard surveys. Testing is documented and used for performance review and corrections.
