Digital Compass Compliance: How I-Deviator Nautical Platform Supports Regulatory Precision
In an era of increasing regulatory scrutiny and digital transformation, the I-Deviator Nautical Platform offers a robust, compliance-focused solution for managing compass deviation, gyro error, and logbook integrity across fleets.
Built for IMO SOLAS & ISO Standards
The platform is engineered to support compliance with IMO SOLAS Chapter V and ISO 2269 / ISO 10316 standards for Class A and B compasses. It ensures that compass errors are logged at least once per watch and after any major course alteration, as required by STCW Code Part A, Chapter VIII, 34.2.
Deviation records are automatically compared against the latest Deviation Card, and alerts are triggered when correlation values exceed thresholds. This ensures timely intervention and audit-readiness.
Compass Error LogBook with Predictive Analytics
The digital Compass Error LogBook replaces manual entries with automated calculations, input error correction, and deviation analytics. It tracks both magnetic and gyro compass performance, issuing alerts for increases in deviation or gyro error since the last annual service.
Each entry includes:
UTC timestamp
Ship’s position and heading
Magnetic and gyro readings
Calculated deviation and variation
Correlation values against the Deviation Card
Observer and repeater data
This structure ensures traceability and supports inspection readiness.
Fleet-Wide Oversight and Smart Alerts
The Fleet Management Board provides centralized oversight with:
Smart alerts for deviation and gyro error exceedances
Vessel status (at sea, in port, dry dock, etc.)
Deviation Card validity tracking
One-click access to logbooks and adjustment history
Compliance officers can prioritize vessels, monitor adjustment cycles, and ensure timely renewals of deviation documentation. [I-Deviator...ment Board]
Adjustment Workflow and Audit Trail
Compass adjustments are guided through a two-step digital workflow:
Interactive questionnaire
Expert recommendations and deviation card generation
All adjustments—successful, trial, or closed—are logged with timestamps and vessel identifiers. This creates a complete audit trail for internal reviews and external inspections.
Offline Logging and Secure Sync
Crews can use the Offline Logbook Template during connectivity outages. Once online, records are synced automatically, preserving data integrity and ensuring continuity of compliance.
Celestial Navigation and Sextant Adjustment
For vessels relying on celestial navigation, the platform includes tools for:
Sight planning
Sextant calibration
Line of Position (LOP) generation
These features support compliance with traditional navigation standards and enhance redundancy.
