Recognised Compass Adjustors

Operators should contact a recognised compass adjuster and check they hold the appropriate recognition for the type of vessel to be surveyed. 

When you must use a recognised compass adjuster 

Maritime Rules Part 45, rules 45.6 and 45.19, set out which vessel types require the installation, repair, or adjustment of a magnetic compass to be performed in consultation with a Recognised Compass Adjuster. 

Compass Adjusters can gain approval and be issued recognition only under the requirements in MR Part 45.35. 

Vessel owners must consult only with a recognised compass adjuster.
