Gyrocompass service

The Gyrocompass has become an essential instrument in almost all merchant- or naval vessels for its ability to detect the direction of true north and not the magnetic north. The gyrocompass is vital during operation; therefore, Alphatron Marine provides a 24/7 worldwide service of technical support from well-experienced technicians. We even offer an exchange program for our customers using our gyrocompasses, providing a refund for their used AlphaMiniCourse Mk2.

In our product line, we have gyrocompasses that are maintenance free, or that require annual service. In both cases, our qualified technicians are available to perform service, maintenance and technical support checks for your vessel. We maintain close relationships with our dealers for the maintenance of gyrocompasses. Their technicians are also trained by Alphatron Marine and can provide support on board worldwide whenever you need assistance.

The Alphatron Marine locations in the Netherlands and Singapore each have their own gyro workshop. These are climate-controlled spaces, providing the perfect environment for calibrating compasses. Alphatron Marine gyrocompasses, such as the AlphaMidiCourse, are handled by passionate and skilled specialists. They perform overhaul maintenance and repairs on gyrocompasses, ensuring you always experience an accurate and smooth journey, wherever you travel.

Due to the current sanctions against Russia, Alphatron Marine is unable to sell or provide service for the AlphaMiniCourse, including the Mk2 variant, at this time.
