As the Cruise Industry continues to grow with cruise ships becoming larger, customers are looking for new ways to process passengers, crew members, and visitors coming on board or leaving the ship. The embarkation and disembarkation procedures are performed through the ship’s gangway, which is a mandatory security process.
The regular operation consists of a fixed workstation connected to the ship's network. If there is a need to embark or disembark passengers more quickly, the IT Officer would need to set up an additional workstation and scanner and connect to the network. Some of the challenges in setting up additional workstation include limited space at the gangway, insufficient power, and lack of network ports. With an application that runs on a tablet, you enable crew the flexibility, mobility, and an expedited embarkation/disembarkation process.
