Salto sets sail to revolutionise the cruise experience with smart access control solutions that bring security, flexibility, and comfort to maritime travel.
From luxurious cruise liners to rugged commercial freighters, the marine industry faces unparalleled security challenges. The ability to efficiently manage access to the various areas of the ship – be it passenger cabins, crew quarters, or restricted areas – is critical to ensuring operational safety and strict compliance with international maritime regulations.
The nature of a cruise ship’s environment is unique: constantly at sea and isolated from immediate external support, it makes having efficient, self-contained access control systems all the more important. These systems must not only respond promptly to emergencies, but also maintain the integrity of access control in all situations, providing a reliable backbone for operations on any marine vessel.
The importance of smart access control
Smart access control systems are key to meeting the dynamic security needs of the marine industry. They overcome the limitations of traditional lock and key mechanisms by offering a more adaptable, scalable, and programmable approach to security.
For structures as complex as cruise ships, which often operate essentially as floating cities, the implementation of smart technology is not a luxury – it’s a necessity. Smart access systems ensure that only authorised individuals gain access to sensitive or restricted areas, significantly reducing the risk of inadvertent or malicious intrusion and potential security breaches.
Additionally, these systems can be programmed to adjust access rights in real-time, providing flexibility and adaptability to the ever-changing demands of cruise ships.

Enhancing passenger and crew experience
To enhance the onboard experience for passengers and crew, we leverage the latest in smart access technology to create a seamless, personalised, and secure environment. Our keyless entry systems, powered by Salto’s digital key and contactless technology, provide an unparalleled level of convenience and flexibility. Passengers can start their journey with ease, bypassing traditional check-in procedures for a streamlined digital process.
The JustIN Mobile app allows passengers to manage access directly from their smartphones. For example, they can instantly change their access rights, ensuring that access is only granted when necessary. This not only adds another layer of personal convenience, but also enhances security. For families in particular, the ability to track and manage access in real-time provides additional peace of mind.
For crew members, the benefits of Salto’s smart solutions include operational efficiency. Eliminating physical keys reduces how much time they spend on key management, allowing the crew to focus on providing high-quality guest services. In addition, Salto’s integrated management platform offers real-time monitoring of access events, enabling rapid response to any security or operational needs. This integration also extends to on-board facilities management: Salto’s solutions help streamline operations, reducing maintenance time and infrastructure costs.
Compliance with maritime security standards
Compliance with international maritime security standards is more than a regulatory requirement; it’s a fundamental element of trust and reliability in marine operations. Our smart solutions range is designed to meet the stringent requirements of maritime security protocols, ensuring that every aspect of access control – from data encryption to physical security – meets or exceeds the highest industry standards.
This commitment to security and compliance is reflected in Salto’s integration with existing onboard security systems such as CCTV and fire alarms. By creating a cohesive security ecosystem, our solutions enhance the overall safety of the maritime environment.
Furthermore, our centralised cruise management software provides the ability to manage multiple security threats simultaneously. Operators gain a comprehensive view of security operations, making it easier to ensure that all measures are in place to protect passengers, crew, and assets.
