Compass calibration must follow procedures defined by DG Shipping, IMO, and SOLAS. It involves checking for deviation, adjusting magnets, and issuing a deviation card. Calibrations should be done by certified compass adjusters and recorded in the ship’s log. Rules also require recalibration after structural changes or magnetic interference. Proper documentation is essential during audits.
