A VHF radio survey assesses the performance, installation, and compliance of the VHF radio system aboard ships. The survey includes testing range, power output, and antenna condition. This survey is required to ensure uninterrupted short-range communication and to meet SOLAS and flag state requirements.
DG Shipping mandates that every sea-going vessel carry a properly calibrated and approved magnetic compass. The compass must be tested, serviced, and certified periodically. Regulations also cover installation, deviation survey, and documentation, as per SOLAS and national maritime 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.
