Sense Holdings shows cruise vessels and maritime cargo security solution

Published 17 March 2006

We have written about a couple of products developed by Sunrise, Florida-based Sense Holdings (OTCBB:SEHO) (FWB:OUP), a developer of both biometric solutions and explosive detection security technologies. The company has just completed another biometrics-based platform, this one aiming to provide security for the cruise vessel and maritime cargo industries. The CheckPrint Cruisetracker Vessel Access System (CPVAS) combines fingerprint biometrics with customizable computer databases to track authorized vendors or others on vessels and in overall shipping environments. The CPVAS products will be marketed to major cargo and cruise line companies, but it occurs to us that smaller cruise companies may want to use the system, too. DHS has imposed stricter early-reporting requirements on Caribbean cruise operators, many of which long in the habit of not asking cruise takers too many questions.

CPVAS is a real-time access control security product. The proprietary solution integrates photographic and fingerprinting identification technologies with computer database solutions to allow vessel personnel or other security personnel to track individuals moving through the ports.
