Abstract: The safety and security of ship is very important, especially in passenger and cargo ships. A large number of human lives have been claimed by many ship related accidents. Fire outbreaks onboard ships is one of such common accident. So safety is critically important in each and every compartment of the ship. Similarly, security is also a big concern, especially in ships with larger capacity. Providing security to every area of the ship is a difficult task. So as part of this project we focus only restricted area where authenticated people can access the control actions. This paper demonstrates, a control and monitoring system in ship based on Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) that ensures both safety and security. Fire detection for safety and iris recognition for security are the two parameters considered in this paper. Fire sensor, Smoke sensor, thermocouple are the sensors used in fire detection. Iris recognition is one of the biometric identification methods, that make use of the unique characteristics of the iris and has many advantages compared to other methods. For authentication, iris images of authorized people are stored in the system and is used for comparison for granting access.
