Ship Survey Magnetic Compass

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.
