TSS International announces delivery of Gyrocompasses to Turkish Coast Guard

TSS (International) Ltd, Watford, UK has completed the delivery of 14 of its latest high performance SC Brown Meridian gyrocompasses to the Turkish Coast Guard.

The gyrocompasses are being installed aboard the Turkish Coast Guards older Patrol boats. The delivery includes the Gyro unit and full fit of modern repeater units for each of the 14 vessels.

The Meridian gyro is fully approved to IMO standards, which make it suitable for use aboard ships of any size. The Meridian employs a dynamically tuned gyrosphere, which benefits the user by significantly reducing its maintenance requirements and costs. The gyrosphere gives the compass the very fast settle time of 45 minutes and the ability to follow rates of turn as rapid as 200 deg per second. The Meridian features a 360 deg compass card display.

The Meridian gyro-compass measures just 344 mm x 267 mm x 440 mm and although suitable for any type of commercial vessel, it is considered particularly appropriate for use within the integrated bridge of high speed craft or as a stand alone unit. It offers a large array of digital or analogue outputs plus a number of digital set-up and test modes that are activated via the control unit.
