Adjustment of the magnetic compass is the arranging of magnetic and soft iron correctors in and outside the compass stand. This makes the correctors' effects equal and opposite to the effects of the magnetic material in the ship, thus reducing the deviation error.
The procedure can be performed only by qualified Magnetic Compass Adjuster accordance with SOLAS V/19.2.1 and IMO Res.A.382 (X) requirements.
Our Team consist of qualified Compass Adjuster who is Certified accordingly to the regulations.

Remote Magnetic Compass Adjustment
We offer our customers Remote Magnetic Compass Adjustment (RMCA) service which will keep the costs low and under control.
It doesn't require the presence of a Compass Adjuster on board and as a result will not cause a delay of the vessel as well as additional expenses for service arrangements on board.
The compass swing can be done while the vessel is underway towards her next port of call.
Once RMCA service is confirmed our Compass Adjuster will contact the Vessel and guide your crew through following steps:
01
Refreshment guide for RMCA performormance and data collection.
You will be provided with instructions and the following documents:
- An “At sea guide” for magnetic compass calibrations.
- Magnetic compass fill out form, - form to obtain general data of magnetic compass and current deviation status.
02
Compass swing and magnetic compass data collection.
Officers on board, following our instructions on performing compass swing will be asked to revert with completely filled Magnetic compass fill out form, with photos of the magnetic compass, B&C magnet locations and soft iron correctors (spheres or plates).
03
Data evaluation and issuance of new deviation card.
Once received documents are reviewed, our Compass Adjuster will either confirm that RMCA is performed correctly under SOLAS requirements and send the Vessel a new deviation card accompanied with service report, or give the vessel further instructions needed for successful service completion.
Magnetic Compass Adjustment on Board
DH-Marine can arrange Magnetic Compass Adjustment on board on any type of vessel.
Our certified master Compass Adjuster can attend the vessel world-wide, sail along and disembark with pilot-boat after the service is completed. During the compass swing required adjustments will be made, if necessary DH-Marine can supply needed consumables according to the magnetic compass manufacturer and model.
Once the service is completed, you will be provided with a new deviation card accompanied with service report.
