Gyrocompass service

The Gyrocompass has become an essential instrument in almost all merchant- or naval vessels for its ability to detect the direction of true north and not the magnetic north. The gyrocompass is vital during operation; therefore, Alphatron Marine provides a 24/7 worldwide service of technical support from well-experienced technicians. We even have an exchange program for our AlphaMiniCourse and AlphaMiniCourse Mk2 gyrocompasses. This exchange program offers customers a refund for their used AlphaMiniCourse or AlphaMiniCourse Mk2, if necessary.

In our product line, we have gyrocompasses that are maintenance free, or that require annual service. In both cases, our qualified technicians are available to perform service, maintenance and technical support checks for your vessel. We also have a good relationship with other dealers and agents. Their technicians are trained by Alphatron Marine to handle gyrocompass equipment, and they can attend your vessel in short notice.

The Alphatron Marine locations in the Netherlands and Singapore have their own gyro workshop operating as a backbone for gyrocompasses in the field, whilst more workshops will be made in our service points of excellence worldwide. These gyro workshops are climate-controlled rooms and create a perfect environment for calibrating the compasses. The AlphaMiniCourse, AlphaMiniCourse Mk2, AlphaMidiCourse and other Alphatron Marine gyro equipment are treated by passionate, skilled specialists. They perform overhaul maintenance and the repair of gyrocompasses, so you will always have an accurate, smooth journey, wherever you go.
