Magnetic Compasses (continued)
23 Every standard magnetic compass required to be fitted on a ship under subsection 19(1) shall be equipped with a device for taking azimuths and terrestrial bearings over an arc of the horizon as close as feasible to 360°.
24 (1) Subject to subsection (2), every ship engaged on a voyage other than a voyage referred to in subsection 19(1) shall be fitted with a steering magnetic compass.
(a) a ship of eight metres or less in length that is navigated within sight of navigation marks; or
(b) a cable ferry.
25 Every magnetic compass required to be fitted on a ship by this Part shall
(a) be properly adjusted; and

(3) Every gyro-compass and every gyro repeater located at the main steering position of a ship shall provide the person at the helm with clear, readable heading information.
Heading Information at the Emergency Steering Position
27 Every ship of 150 tons or more that is required by this Part to be fitted with a compass shall be provided with heading information at the emergency steering position if that position is provided.
28 (1) Subject to subsection (2), a ship shall be fitted with a navigational radar if

(b) it is of 200 tons or more and was constructed on or after September 1, 1984.
(2) A ship shall be fitted with two navigational radars if
(a) it is of 10 000 tons or more; or
(b) it is a tanker, gas carrier or chemical carrier of 1600 tons or more.
(3) Every Safety Convention ship and every ship referred to in subsection (1) on which a navigational radar is fitted after March 1, 2001 shall be fitted with a navigational radar that is capable of operating in the 9-GHz frequency band.
29 (1) When two navigational radars are fitted on a ship, each radar shall be capable of being operated independently of the other.
(2) When two navigational radars are fitted on a Safety Convention ship or are fitted, after March 1, 2001, on a ship referred to in subsection 28(2), at least one of the radars shall be capable of operating in the 9-GHz frequency band.
Radar Plotting Facilities
30 (1) Every navigational radar required by this Part shall be provided with facilities for plotting at or close to each radar display.
(2) The plotting facilities for every radar fitted after September 1, 1984 on ships of 1600 tons or more shall be at least as effective as a reflection plotter.
Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPAs)
31 (1) A ship that is making a foreign voyage or a home-trade voyage, Class I or II, shall be fitted with an automatic radar plotting aid if
(a) it is a tanker of 10 000 tons or more;
(b) it is a ship of 15 000 tons or more that was constructed before September 1, 1984; or
(c) it is a ship of 10 000 tons or more that was constructed on or after September 1, 1984.
(2) Every ship of 10 000 tons or more that is carrying oil or liquid hazardous materials in bulk and is making a voyage on the inland waters of Canada shall be fitted with an automatic radar plotting aid.
(3) Subsection (1) does not apply to a bulk carrier making a home-trade voyage, Class II, in Canada, if
(a) it is limited, by its inspection certificate, to making inland voyages and home-trade voyages, Class II, in Canada; and
(b) during the period for which the inspection certificate is in force, it spends more time on inland voyages than on home-trade voyages, Class II, in Canada.
32 A ship shall be fitted with echo-sounding equipment if

(2) A ship may be fitted with a properly adjusted steering magnetic compass instead of the standard magnetic compass if
(a) it is of less than 150 tons; or
(b) it is of less than 500 tons and is engaged on a voyage that is not
(i) an international voyage, or
(ii) a voyage beyond the limits of a home-trade voyage, Class III, or an inland voyage, Class II.
(3) A ship that is required to be fitted with a standard magnetic compass may instead be fitted with a gyro compass and a properly adjusted steering magnetic compass if
