Company Security Officer (CSO) for the owners Bergensen, said "What

SeaTouch can do, is to minimize the size of the watch keeping force onboard and is, at the same time, an excellent tool to comply with the ISPS Code, being implemented on 1 July 2004."

The Basic package consists of up to eight fixed cameras, a monitor and a switch; the Advanced system can have up to 16 remotely pan and tilt control- lable cameras; and the SeaToch System - run with the a newly developed intelli- gent software - is able to simultaneously handle inputs and alarms from multiple sensors, including CCTV, Hull perime- ter detectors, thermal cameras for day and night vision, acoustic sensors, intru- sion detectors, as well as a short range radar system. A multifunctional redun- dant supervision of the vessel and its surrounding waters results in full control of the vessel and can, at the same time, act as an early warning system from pos- sible piracy at sea or at anchor.

The previous need for manual watch- keeping of the crew, relying on a single source for early warnings or installing multiple types of security equipment, is now replaced by the single integrated

SeaTouch system. SeaTouch allows for an effective supervision of a large num- ber of inputs from independent detection sources in one single control unit.

The user-friendly Man-Machine-

Interface (MMI) consists of just one touch-sensible flat screen, administrat- ing inputs from the entire security sys- tem. The graphical interface, including a

GA drawing of each deck, immediately and clearly identifies the location of a breached alarm. It visually verifies the alarm condition using video images from the area in question.
