What’s Inside?
Compass Error Log Book is more than just a digital log; it's your comprehensive assistant for precise maritime record-keeping. It includes integrated Deviation Card Logs and Compass Maintenance Logs, providing a complete solution for tracking the performance and upkeep of both magnetic and gyrocompasses on board. These logs ensure that all deviations and maintenance records are systematically organized and easily accessible.
To enhance safety and accuracy, Compass Error Log Book features smart highlighting of elevated deviation values and significant discrepancies between logbook entries and the current deviation card. It also flags elevated gyrocompass errors, enabling proactive management of navigation safety. The built-in smart notification system alerts the crew and management when these trends persist over time, helping you address issues before they escalate.
Additionally, the platform offers timely reminders for updating expiring deviation cards or when deviation data becomes outdated, ensuring your vessel always operates with the most accurate information. All data is securely saved and accessible only to authorized personnel, maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of your records.
The platform offers automated calculations for key logbook fields, significantly reducing manual entry time and minimizing errors. This feature provides the crew with an option to rely on automated assistance for precise data entry, while also allowing the logbook to be maintained entirely through manual calculations if preferred. In such cases, the platform highlights potential errors, helping to ensure the accuracy of manually entered data without compromising control.
For those seeking more detailed insights, the Advanced version of Compass Error Log Book extends the standard functionality to include logging of weather conditions, sea states, and vessel speed. This comprehensive approach allows for a richer set of observations, offering valuable context for navigation and operational analysis, tailored to the specific needs of your vessel's journey.
With secure, encrypted access available from any device equipped with a modern browser, Compass Error Log Book makes logkeeping more efficient, organized, and secure, ensuring that your vessel’s records are always up-to-date and easily manageable.

For what?
Compass Error Log Book serves an essential role in maritime navigation by meticulously recording compass errors, deviations, and adjustments to ensure precise navigation and maintain the accuracy of a vessel's compasses. This logbook is not just a record-keeping tool; it is a critical component for managing the performance of both magnetic and gyrocompasses, helping to keep navigational instruments finely tuned for accurate headings.
Regulation and oversight of compass error logbooks are governed by international maritime safety standards, specifically under the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) Convention, Chapter V. These regulations mandate that all ships must carry a magnetic compass and maintain a record of its deviations and adjustments. The logbook must document compass performance, adjustments made after significant events like structural repairs, changes in nearby magnetic equipment, or routine checks every two years. Accurate record-keeping is required to comply with these regulations, as deviations can affect the ship's navigation safety.
Compass adjustments and the logging of deviations are critical when the compass shows signs of unreliability due to various factors, such as changes in the ship's magnetism, addition or alteration of magnetic equipment, or after carrying cargo with magnetic properties. The logbook also plays a role in documenting adjustments by certified professionals, ensuring compliance with international standards such as ISO 2269 and ISO 10316 for Class A and B compasses.
By maintaining a detailed and systematic log of compass errors and deviations, vessels can ensure ongoing compliance with international regulations, enhance navigation safety, and reduce the risk of navigational errors. This logbook becomes a valuable resource for both mariners and navigational officers to continuously monitor and adjust the vessel's navigation tools, thereby ensuring safe and precise passage on all voyages.
