Standard 22 Gyro Compass of Raytheon
As the company announces during an official hand-over ceremony at Nor-Shipping 2011, the jubilee compass has been installed on board of the Platform Supply Vessel “REM Mist” at Ulstein Verft.
Raytheon Anschütz has installed the jubilee compass as part of their proven navigation package, consisting of a triple Standard 22 gyro compass system, magnetic compass, various repeater compasses as well as adaptive autopilot system.
Special features of the Standard 22 Gyro Compass are said to be the patented non-contact transmission of the gyro supply voltage and the optical signal transmission of the sensor data. Advanced functions of the Standard 22 include heading monitoring, automatic switch over, an independent transmitting magnetic compass (TMC) path as well as an individual speed error correction mode in addition to manual/automatic correction modes. Furthermore, specialized universal course transducers are available for cost-efficient gyro compass refit solutions that make possible to maintain existing heading receivers on board.
"REM Mist" entered the fleet of Remøy Shipping AS beginning of May and has started charter operation for Statoil. The 88.8 meters long vessel of Ulstein PX105 design is intended to serve general demands of the offshore industry.
