Traditional Marine Gyro Compass Manufacturers, Models, Spare Parts, Repair, Calibration & Technical Guide

Product Introduction

Modern commercial vessels depend on accurate heading information for safe navigation. A Marine Gyro Compass provides true north heading independent of magnetic variation, making it one of the most critical navigation instruments installed on ships.

From cargo vessels and tankers to offshore support vessels, naval ships, LNG carriers, and passenger ships, gyro compass systems continuously supply heading data to radar, ECDIS, autopilot, AIS, VDR, BNWAS, track control systems, and bridge repeaters.

For decades, manufacturers such as Raytheon Anschütz, Tokyo Keiki (Tokimec), Yokogawa, Sperry Marine, Simrad, and C. Plath have developed highly reliable gyro compass systems that remain in service throughout the global shipping industry.

SM MARINE SERVICE™ supplies genuine, replacement, used, and reconditioned marine gyro compass systems together with spare parts, repair services, calibration support, and worldwide technical assistance.

What Is a Marine Gyro Compass?

A Marine Gyro Compass is a precision navigation instrument that automatically finds True North by using the principles of gyroscopic inertia and the Earth's rotation.

Unlike a magnetic compass, a gyro compass is not affected by:

  • Magnetic variation
  • Magnetic deviation
  • Steel ship structures
  • Electrical interference
  • Magnetic cargo

Because of this high accuracy, gyro compass data is distributed throughout the vessel to numerous navigation systems including:

  • ECDIS
  • Marine Radar
  • Autopilot
  • AIS
  • Voyage Data Recorder (VDR)
  • Dynamic Positioning Systems
  • Bridge Repeaters
  • Track Control Systems
