ASSA ABLOY broadens marine access via cross-divisional collaboration

Cruise ship on the sea.

ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions has expanded its offering through a collaboration with Entrance Systems. By combining expertise across the Group, the teams now deliver a broader access solution for cruise ships, ferries, and offshore vessels.

Marine customers face growing demands for integrated access onboard. Ships require reliable doors, locks, and access control systems that work together under harsh conditions. Separate suppliers increase complexity for operators and crews. The collaboration between Global Solutions and Entrance Systems responds to this challenge by bringing more of ASSA ABLOY’s portfolio into one coordinated offer. 

The Marine team, part of Global Solutions, has more than 30 years of experience in onboard access. With over one million locks installed worldwide, the business delivers RFID locks, mobile keys, and access control systems certified for maritime use. By adding automated door solutions from Entrance Systems, their offerings now cover a wider set of access points onboard. 

This expansion has proven particularly beneficial to improving customer experience. Operators work with one partner for doors, locks, and access control. Solutions meet maritime requirements such as corrosion resistance, humidity, and temperature shifts.

This collaboration between two divisions aptly reflects ASSA ABLOY’s continued commitment to delivering integrated access solutions and shows how cross-divisional work strengthens customer value.
