Abstract
Transport of passengers has undergone radical changes, this affected the characteristics of vessels and type, quality and perception of offered services. Shipbuilders agreed about the new cruise concept competing to satisfy request of owners and passengers. To compensate the cost the owners increased number of passengers and crew members boarding and coming from different nations, speaking different languages, having different habits and traditions. A complexity improved by no-technical teams involved in emergencies. Number of passengers, luxury, companies prestige are also targets for sabotages, terrorism or piracy. These threats induce priorities to identify people who embark via control systems efficiency
MarineLAB research project - aimed to identify the best way to face the mass of passengers moving toward the muster areas or lifeboats and to minimize the risk of increasing the number of missing or potential shipwreck victims - suggests biometric parameters, the unique physical characteristics usable to authenticate people due their intrinsic quality that cannot be forgotten, passed to other individual, lost or stolen. Biometric data for authentication without risk of errors both in safety and security.
Comparing different biometrics and analyzing the “bio-privacy technology risk” the fingerprint results easy to be managed, with strong identification capabilities, unchanging characteristics and the same privacy risk of other biometrics too slow and not easy to be applied in emergency
The system, based on a properly encodes confidential and secure storage of data, anonymously contains all the information required in the categorization of the passengers and crew members.The capabilities of Biometric Electronic-Mustering system have been integrated to offer a valid support in the Massive Damage Care with survivors getting the mainland disoriented, shocked, injured, separated from parents, without documents or money. Medical Care is the third appliance. The code contains any information immediately available about specific health critical (allergies, pathologies, ecc)
