Abstract

One of the factors that caused the hijacking of ships was the lack of a security system in sailing. The purpose of this study is to design a piracy anticipation system on a ship to provide early warning to ship officers and design a shooting system, determine the distance to objects detected by sensors and design a system of sending information to the BAKAMLA (Sea Safety Agency) team in case of piracy. This research device uses four ultrasonic sensors to detect and determine the distance to objects that enter the ship’s area. The sensor reading distance is 2 cm to 50 cm. The ship’s area monitoring system uses a camera and a Raspberry Pi to improve the surveillance of ship personnel in monitoring the situation around the ship. The system installed on this ship displays video streaming and detects objects using ultrasonic sensors to determine the distance of the detected object and capture it. Video streaming, distance, and photos of detected objects can be seen on the website by opening a particular site for this monitoring system. The website is equipped with admin_name and passwords and photos of objects can be downloaded on the website. This device is equipped with a buzzer to provide early warning to the ship officers. When an object is detected. The active buzzer and SIM used will send information about piracy to the BAKAMLA team.
