What is a Marine Magnetic Compass?
A magnetic compass is a navigation device that indicates direction based on Earth’s magnetic field.
It serves as a primary or backup heading reference system, especially in situations where electronic systems are unavailable.
Importance of Magnetic Compass Onboard
Magnetic compasses remain essential because they:
- Operate without electrical power
- Provide reliable backup navigation
- Are required by SOLAS regulations
- Support safe navigation in emergency situations
Even with modern navigation systems, magnetic compasses are still mandatory on most vessels.
