can different magnetic compasses be substituted

Can magnetic compasses of different brands and models be substituted? The answer to this question is not simple, as the performance and quality of a magnetic compass depend not only on the manufacturer and specifications, but also on the type, size, structure, purpose of the ship and other factors. Generally speaking, magnetic compasses of the same type can be substituted, but the following points need to be noted:

Replacement magnetic compasses should comply with the relevant regulations and standards of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and classification societies to ensure their safety and legality

The replacement magnetic compass should be suitable for the ship's installation location and space to ensure its stability and visibility.

The replacement magnetic compass should be compatible with the ship's other navigation equipment to ensure coordination and consistency

Replacement magnetic compasses should be properly calibrated and tested to ensure their accuracy and reliability
