Protect cruise ship passengers and workers from acts of violence

In 2010, nearly 15 million passengers traveled on cruise ships. With crime on these vessels on the rise, public safety is a constant concern for the maritime sector. The greatest threat to these ships and the passengers on-board is terrorism, such as attacks through waterborne Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) while in transit or docked in ports. This, along with the steady increase in drug smuggling activities, has caused cruise lines to change their security processes.

Typically, all passengers and crew are now required to pass through metal detectors before boarding. The crew and port officials also examine every shipment of supplies that is brought aboard. However, metal detectors as the only screening device leaves cruise ships extremely vulnerable against the detection of concealed non-metallic objects such as plastic explosives, liquids, and gels, as well as contraband such as illegal drugs and currency. Therefore, cruise ship screeners need to have the right systems and technologies at checkpoints to quickly identify persons who appear to be concealing suspicious objects and to perform the necessary subsequent manual inspections.

The Brijot^® Maritime Security Solution delivers high-throughput scanners that can be easily integrated into existing cruise ship security procedures. Using the Brijot Maritime Security Solution, security personnel are better able to perform their duties by effectively managing traffic flow, minimizing time delays at checkpoints, eliminating health concerns, and protecting privacy.
