Offshore vessels rely heavily on marine gyros to maintain accurate heading and positioning. The gyro provides real-time data to navigation systems, ensuring that offshore vessels, such as oil rigs, research ships, and supply boats, maintain their course and stability in harsh conditions. By compensating for factors such as wind, waves, and current, marine gyros help […]

The benefits of a marine gyrocompass are significant, especially for vessels operating in environments where magnetic interference is prevalent. Unlike magnetic compasses, gyrocompasses are not affected by the Earth’s magnetic field, providing a stable and accurate reference to true north. This ensures more precise navigation, particularly in open seas or areas with unpredictable magnetic anomalies. […]

Kolkata Port offers magnetic compass services including calibration, fluid refill, deviation correction, and overhaul. Technicians work on all major brands like Saura, C-Plath, and Ritchie. Services comply with DG Shipping standards, and vessels receive a valid deviation card after calibration.
Kandla Port, one of India’s busiest cargo terminals, offers essential marine services including magnetic compass repair. Local technicians provide deviation correction, fluid refills, card replacement, and calibration for various compass brands. Repairs are usually available for both commercial vessels and tugboats operating in the region.
Compass alignment service ensures that the compass is properly oriented along the vessel’s centerline and magnetic meridian. Misalignment can result in significant navigational errors. Indian marine technicians perform alignment during installation or post-repair. Proper alignment supports accurate autopilot inputs and navigation repeaters.
Establishing a regular magnetic compass maintenance schedule is essential to ensure long-term reliability and accuracy. Typical tasks include visual inspection, deviation checks, fluid top-up, cleaning, and magnet alignment every 6–12 months. Indian shipping companies follow planned maintenance systems (PMS) that include compass servicing. Proper documentation and servicing logs are also maintained for survey readiness.
