Marine Magnetic Compass Plays An Irreplaceable Role in Navigation Safety.

Oct 30, 2022|

Today, although the sailing vessel has been widely used electric compass and GPS system and other advanced electrical navigation instrument for ship safety, but the gyrocompass structure is complex, and need plenty of power supply, a component damage or the power supply will be lost function, and not easy to repair, so the Marine magnetic compass is still widely used in the sailing ship.

Compared with gyrocompass and GPS system, Marine magnetic compass is relatively simple in structure and durable. A good magnetic compass can be installed on a new ship until the ship is scrapped. And Marine magnetic compass with geomagnetic power source, anytime and anywhere can be obtained, never interrupted. Therefore, in today's, the magnetic compass is still a necessary pointing instrument for nautical ships.

When THE GYROCOMPASS IS DAMAGED OR THERE IS NO EXTERNAL SIGNAL, THE MAGNETIC GYROCOMPASS BECOMES THE ONLY POINTING INSTRUMENT OF THE SHIP, AND ONLY THE MAGNETIC GYROCOMPASS WITH CORRECTION DEVIATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS CAN TAKE OVER THE POINTING WORK OF THE GYROCOMPASS AT ANY TIME AND INDICATE THE CORRECT DIRECTION FOR THE SHIP. Especially in the case of shipwreck, magnetic compass becomes the only pointing instrument for seafarers to save life.

To sum up, Marine magnetic compass still plays an irreplaceable role in navigation safety.
