- Abstract
This article examines the current state of practices concerning the monitoring of the accuracy and reliability of compasses on modern ships in the global fleet. The author analyzes personally detected, bizarre, but commonly used practices that may indirectly lead to hazards to human life, and impose a serious risk of marine environmental pollution. The author indicates probable reasons for the present state, and proposes directions, resources and methods for rectifying the situation. The problems presented, which represent the results of a broad study, call for decisive solutions in such areas as technology, education, law, and morality.
