SALTO Access Control Solution Installed On ANEK Lines Ferries

Friday, November 27th, 2009

ANEK Lines Ferries, a Crete based shipping line, has selected a SALTO XS4 contactless access control system to provide advanced security management aboard its brand new state-of-the-art ship ‘Elyros’.

The company provides coastal and inter-island shipping around the Aegean and Adriatic seas. Its modern fleet of 11 vessels provide regular services for passengers, freight and tourists travelling around the myriad ports and harbours of the Greek mainland and islands.

The ‘Elyros’ is the newest vessel to join the line and is a former roll-on roll-off ferry purchased from the Mol Ferry Co in Japan for approximately €30 million. Built in 1998 by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the ship is 192 meters long, 27 meters wide and has an in-service cruising speed of 23 knots. It can carry almost 2000 passengers and has a 2,000-lane meter parking area sufficient to transport 543 cars.

Following its delivery to Greece it went into dry dock in Kerastini for an extensive upgrade and re-building programme that cost in excess €45 million. This included adding a new deck, moving the bridge forward towards the bows and adding a new design of funnel. The interior was also completely re-designed and modernised turning it into a luxurious floating hotel that could offer outstanding accommodation and dining as well as on-board entertainment and relaxation facilities.

The XS4 system needs no hardwiring and provides a wire-free networked electronic locking solution. It uses distributed intelligence to pass information between microprocessors in the electronic handle set and the key cards and fobs and by integrating them with SALTO Virtual Network technology (SVN) both door locks, key cards and fobs can be updated, restricted or deleted remotely and access profiles changed rapidly if required adding real value to the access management of the ship.”

With future expansion plans and passenger traffic growing on its route network, the flexible SALTO XS4 access control system can easily grow to meet ongoing security requirements at ANEK Lines Ferries.
