Kongsberg Maritime received IMO Type Approval (Wheelmark) for its MGC R3 COMPASS system. The gyro compass fits well into the range of offerings from Kongsberg for navigation and ship control systems. The MGC R3 COMPASS integrates Kongsberg’s already established Motion Reference Unit (MRU) platform with high-end gyro compass technology, providing a reliable and accurate solution for any navigational purposes. Acting both as a gyro compass and full Inertial Navigation System (INS), the system outputs heading, roll, pitch, heave and position data.  Data is distributed via Ethernet and serial lines to ensure efficient distribution to multiple users on board the vessel.
