Compass Compensation and Adjustment

Lauderdale Compass compensates compasses on all types of vessels ranging from pleasure boats to Sport Fishing boats to ships and USCG Cutters. Compass adjustments are performed on boats utilizing various types of equipment. Upon completion of our compass compensation and adjustment services you will receive a deviation card that shows how much, if any deviation is present.<
Compass Adjustments are Mandatory! If you operate a charter service compass adjustments are mandatory for insurance compliance. Depending on the size of vessel, compass adjustments are required every 1 – 2 years. Be sure and check with your provider for exact requirements. In addition if you are navigating certain water-ways or shipping lanes the Port Pilot will require seeing your deviation card.
