India launches World's First ever Facial Biometric Data Based Sea Fearer Identity
India
has become the first country in the world to issue Biometric Seafarer
Identity Document (BSID), capturing the facial bio-metric data of
seafarers.
The new facial biometric technology is a marked improvement over the two
finger or iris based bio-metric data. It
will make the identification of the Biometric Seafarer
Identity Document holder more reliable and
efficient, while protecting their privacy.
This will evident
in the growing number of Indian seafarers in the international shipping
industry.
This will
give a fool proof identification to our seafarers which will facilitate
their movement, provide ease of getting jobs and help in identifying
them from any location in the world. The new card is in confirmation of
the Convention No. 185 of the International Labour Organisation on BSID.
