Description
Compass Observation Book No. 30 is designed for the navigator’s recording of compass observations. By collecting the observations, one can track the magnetic compass’s error and assess whether changes in deviation should be investigated further.
The book provides a fixed format for recordings and can form part of the vessel’s routines for checking navigation equipment. It is relevant both for daily bridge work and for training in compass checks.
The frequency and method of observations must follow the vessel’s applicable requirements and procedures. The log is a documentation aid and does not replace assessment or adjustment carried out by competent personnel.
Logbooks and journals from Brown, Son & Ferguson Ltd are English-language publications for recording navigation, machinery operation and work on board. The range includes books for professional shipping, training and supplementary records. Choose the format that suits the vessel’s procedures and record-keeping needs.
The publication is in English and is published by Brown, Son & Ferguson Ltd. ISBN: 9780851745985.
