Chapter 7. Safety and Security Systems Muster Control System Muster Control VingCard Marine’s Muster Control system uses wireless scanners for registration and real time tracking of muster stations during safety drills and emergencies. The operator scans the ID card or cabin key of each person. If the card is missing there is an option for manual selection. The scanner has the full list of all crew and passengers on board with picture ID (optional), their respective cabin number and muster station number. If a person meets up at the wrong station or life boat, the correct location will be displayed on the scanner. For emergencies there is a choice to accept registration wherever a person presents themselves. Multiple muster station scanners may be connected to the ship’s network on a central computer and the scanners are synchronised using Microsoft Active Sync. Reports are generated to show persons who attended mustering and those who did not meet up. Optional Muster Control system scanners Muster Control may use ID cards with RFID, bar code or magnetic stripe. The rough scanner is classified IP64 and built to withstand drops from 1.5 metres.
