The “Blue Sun” series fiber-optic gyrocompass first obtained the EC MODULE B and EC MODULE D certificates in early 2019. This latest certification was primarily driven by updates to the relevant standards for gyrocompasses. DNV-GL, a renowned classification society, is an authoritative certification body in the field of autopilot systems for gyrocompasses and is widely recognized worldwide. The successful acquisition of this certificate demonstrates that the “Blue Sun” fiber-optic gyrocompass has reached an international standard in terms of technical specifications.
Thanks to their lightweight design, compact size, low power consumption, and high cost-effectiveness, the “Blue Sun” series fiber optic gyrocompasses have gained widespread recognition in the market. They have been installed on more than 200 ocean-going vessels operated by well-known shipping and ship management companies, including COSCO Shipping, China Shipbuilding Leasing, Intermarine, Vela Shipping, Equinor, and GCCL (Croatia). Their overall cost-effectiveness has now matched that of traditional mechanical gyrocompasses.
Currently, CSSC Navigation has established a global after-sales service network that is “timely, fast, and efficient,” giving it the capability and confidence to provide reliable support and protection for customers worldwide.
In the field of navigation, fiber-optic gyrocompasses—being the next-generation marine compasses—are inevitably replacing traditional mechanical gyrocompasses. If we compare the traditional mechanical gyrocompass to a “big brother” that uses analog signals, then the fiber-optic gyrocompass is like a “smartphone” that relies on digital signals. The era of fiber optics is about to dawn for gyrocompasses.
