Service of spare compasses

A Statutory Safety Often Overlooked

In a world where modern technology is taking over the bridge, it can be easy to forget the importance of the classic spare compass. But the backup compass is a vital part of the ship's safety system, especially in emergency situations where electronic navigation systems can fail.

By law, all ships with a gross tonnage of 150 or more, and passenger ships regardless of size, must have a spare magnetic compassthat is interchangeable with the primary compass or otherwise performs the same function. At the same time, spare compasses must be serviced and checked at least once a year to ensure they are functioning optimally. Yet this requirement is often overlooked, which can have serious consequences for both safety and compliance with maritime regulations.
