What are the principles of operation of a fiber-optic gyro compass?

  • A fiber-optic coil and three accelerometers determine the speed of rotation of the earth.
  • Two fiber-optic coils with one accelerometer and a level sensor determine the direction of true north.
  • Three fiber-optic coils with a dual accelerometer and a yaw detector determines the direction of true north.
  • Correct Answer
    Three fiber-optic coils and a dual-axis electronic level sensor determine the direction of true north.

How does the Ship Security Alert System operate?

  • Correct Answer
    It sends an alert to specific addresses via the Inmarsat-C terminal.
  • It sends an all ships alert via the VHF-DSC unit.
  • It sends an alert to the RCC via the Inmarsat-C terminal.
  • It sends an all ships alert via MF-HF.
