Choosing the Right Compass Technology
Magnetic Compass - Reliable by Nature
Independent of electrical power, magnetic compasses provide an essential heading reference and reliable backup when electronic navigation systems are unavailable.
Sperry Marine´s Jupiter magnetic compass and NAVIPOL binnacles combine proven technology with robust design, supporting safe navigation and compliance with relevant maritime safety standards.
Spinning Mass Gyro - Proven Accuracy and Long Service Life
Spinning Mass Gyro deliver accurate, true-north referenced heading information using proven electromechanical technology. Designed for long service life and low maintenance requirements, they provide reliable performance across a wide range of commercial vessels.
NAVIGAT 100 is ideal for standalone, single-gyro installations and cost-efficient retrofits into existing systems. NAVIGAT 200 supports networked installation requiring multiple gyro compasses, system redundancy and future scalability through CompassNet.
Fiber Optic Gyro - High Precision without Moving Parts
Fiber optic gyros deliver precise heading information using solid-state technology with no moving parts. Maintenance-free sensor operation, fast start-up and high reliability make them particularly suitable for vessels with demanding schedules, remote operations or high-latitude navigation.
NAVIGAT 2500 is designed for vessels prioritising continuous availability, reduce maintenance and reliable heading performance. NAVIGAT 3500 adds higher heading accuracy and advanced motion reference data, supporting demanding applications such as offshore operations, hydrographic surveys and dynamic positioning.
