Advanced Gyro Compass Systems & Marine Navigation Solutions
In the demanding world of maritime operations, heading accuracy is critical for safety and efficiency. The gyro compass is the heart of your bridge system, providing a true-north reference that remains stable regardless of magnetic interference or hull steel. At Amazon Blu Ship Supplies, we are the UAE’s trusted partner for high-precision ship navigation equipment.
Whether you operate a commercial tanker, a container ship, or an offshore support vessel, we ensure your fleet is equipped with reliable heading sensors. We specialize in the supply, installation, and maintenance of both traditional mechanical units and modern fiber optic gyro compass technology, serving ports from Jebel Ali to Fujairah.
Our Marine Gyro Compass Product Range
We stock a comprehensive inventory to meet the diverse needs of the global shipping industry. A marine gyro compass is not a “one-size-fits-all” solution, which is why we offer multiple configurations.
1. Standard Mechanical Gyro Compass
The industry standard for durability and cost-effectiveness. Our mechanical gyro compass units are sourced from leading global manufacturers (such as Sperry Marine, Tokimec, and Raytheon Anschütz). They are designed to withstand the vibration and shock of heavy seas while delivering precise heading data to repeaters and autopilots.
2. Fiber Optic Gyro Compass (FOG)
For vessels requiring maintenance-free operation and ultra-fast settling times, we supply the latest fiber optic gyro compass systems. Unlike mechanical versions, these solid-state units have no moving parts, making them highly resistant to wear and tear. They are the preferred choice for high-speed craft and naval applications where traditional gyroscope compass limitations might be an issue.
3. Gyro Spheres & Sensitive Elements
A gyro compass failure is often due to a worn sensitive element. We provide immediate stock availability for:
- Gyrospheres: Genuine and OEM replacements.
- Supporting Fluids: Manufacturer-approved mercury-free liquids.
- Service Kits: Gaskets, O-rings, and insulating fluids essential for overhauls.
Importance of a Reliable Gyroscope Compass
Often referred to by crew as a gyroscope compass, this instrument is mandatory under SOLAS Chapter V regulations for ships over 500 GT. Unlike a magnetic compass, a gyro compass finds true north using the rotation of the earth.
Reliance on inferior or unmaintained equipment can lead to drifting course errors, increased fuel consumption, and dangerous navigational hazards. As a premier supplier of ship navigation equipment, Amazon Blu Ship Supplies ensures that every unit we deliver meets strict IMO and ISO performance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between a standard and a fiber optic gyro compass?
A: A standard gyro compass uses a spinning rotor and requires regular fluid changes and bearing replacements. A fiber optic gyro compass uses light beams to detect rotation; it has no moving parts and requires zero maintenance, though the initial cost is higher.
Q: Do you supply spares for older gyroscope compass models?
A: Yes, we specialize in sourcing hard-to-find spares for older marine gyro compass models that are still in service on many trading vessels.
Q: Can you deliver to Fujairah Anchorage?
A: Absolutely. We deliver ship navigation equipment and spares to all UAE anchorages and ports 24/7.
