The meridian standard and Meridian Surveyor gyrocompasses manufactured by Teledyne TSS have been given type approval by the China Classification Society. The approval was granted after the Society inspectors completed a detailed study of the gyros, their performance and reliability and the manufacturing processes and quality control methods employed at the Teledyne TSS factory in Watford, UK. The approval will now open the Chinese shipbuilding and offshore survey markets for these products where it is expected that their performance and pricing will be welcomed. The need for commercial shipping to carry type approved mechanical gyrocompasses has maintained a demand for the high quality products manufactured by Teledyne TSS. The company has responded to this demand by pursuing a sustained development programme that has resulted in a range of products that set bench marks for performance while being built to the highest standards of precision engineering. The Meridian range is already IMO, Wheelmark and Russian Maritime Register of Shipping approved and includes versions with High Speed Craft certification.
