A-PASS®
Introducing A-PASS® 5.0 -
Not Just for the Gangway Anymore!
Re-engineered from the ground floor up, the new A-PASS 5.0
system is the next generation of ship management for marine safety and security.
While providing new and improved features of A-PASS Classic, many new safety and
security options are now available. The new Registration module allows embarkation
operations to be streamlined by capturing passenger photos in the terminal and eliminating
the autocorrelation process. With the Corporate Badging module, badges can be generated
and managed to ensure personnel have proper fleet-wide clearance and preauthorization.
A new integrated Access Control module allows select areas on the ship to be secured
based on configurable access rules, providing full tracking of passenger and crew
activity in sensitive areas.

Compliant with the latest APIS rulings, the system now supports direct electronic
submissions through eNOA/D to fulfill all USCG (Notice Of Arrival) and CBP (APIS)
electronic filing requirements upon embarkation. The Immigration web module ensures
that passengers meet all requirements for clearance before being allowed to exit
the ship. To manage record retention, an automated Archive strategy was developed
to stream shipside data to a central database for fleet-wide corporate reporting.
Based on Microsoft .NET technology, the new A-PASS 5.0 uses the latest in software
architecture, web technology, and industry standard protocols. Utilizing SOA (Service-Oriented
Architecture) through Web Services, the system ensures seamless integration and
interoperability with other shipboard systems. Employing the latest identity management
technology, the product now supports a wide variety of new device options including
DL, Passport, Biometric, and RFID readers to automate passenger check-in and provide
positive passenger identification.
