The Lilley & Gillie Mk2002S-W is a Class A magnetic compass binnacle system manufactured by John Lilley & Gillie Ltd. in the United Kingdom. Designed for commercial merchant ships, tankers, and naval vessels operating under SOLAS regulations, the Mk2002S-W provides a reliable, non-electronic magnetic heading reference for primary vessel steering and navigation backup.

Engineered with a lightweight, corrosion-proof glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) binnacle housing, the Mk2002S-W is built to withstand extreme weather, UV exposure, and heavy sea spray on the monkey island or wheelhouse top. The system includes a full suite of adjustable magnetic correctors—including B & C alignment magnets, soft iron quadrantal spheres, and a Flinders bar—to eliminate vessel deviation and ensure accurate compass performance across global magnetic zones.

Key Features:
• SOLAS & MED Wheelmark Approved: Complies fully with IMO requirements and ISO 25862 Class A standards for primary magnetic steering compasses.
• Weatherproof GRP Construction: Non-corrosive glass-reinforced plastic binnacle housing prevents rust and minimizes maintenance.
• Complete Deviation Corrector Suite: Fully fitted with adjustable B & C magnets, soft iron quadrantal spheres, heeling error magnets, and a Flinders bar.
• Integrated Dual Lighting: Features main and emergency 24V DC dimmer-controlled illumination for optimal night-watch viewing.
• TMC Pickup Ready: Pre-arranged to accept Transmit Magnetic Compass (TMC) sensors to output digital NMEA 0183 heading data to bridge systems.
• Flexible Optical Viewing: Designed for direct viewing or integration with optical reflector periscope assemblies for the helmsman below.
