Navigation

In spite of various high-tec developments in navigation systems and equipment, traditional navigation means and aids to navigation are still found on board of seagoing ships. And often due too their great reliability, much needed as well. For instance, the magnetic compass is used to establish the correct functioning of the (primary) gyro compass and is independant of the ship's power supply. In case the gyro is not functioning, it can sometimes be used as input for the automatic pilot. Our workshop performs individual type-testing of the magnetic compasses as per the highest standards in a workshop inrivalled in it's kind in Europe.
