Onboard personnel may be identified from their cruise cards or ID cards by CT@G
®’s software running on scanner-fitted, Wi-Fi enabled PDAs.
By passing scanned ID information between CT@G
®’s tracking software and the on-board hotel and crew management system, real-time passenger and crew accountability can be rapidly and accurately achieved during a muster.
Utilizing Wi-Fi links to the ship’s network, accurate, real-time reports are readily available to Command and Control Personnel at the Emergency Control Centre [ECC], on the Bridge and elsewhere. PDA and ECC control screens utilize standard IMO symbology to facilitate intuitive use, allowing for fast muster with 100% accuracy. Functionality includes:
• SEARCH capabilities
• MESSAGING
• FIRST AID
• “LANDFALL”
In the event that passengers and crew have to Abandon Ship, the ultimate benefit is provided through the ‘LANDFALL’ function: muster records and data are stored in the memory of the PDAs and are thus transferred ashore with evacuated passengers and crew, allowing for continuous accountability from ship to shore.
