DESCRIZIONE
Offshore maritime access control system comprising at least two buoys (1, 1 a) which, in operation, are moored and separate from each other, defining a controlled access virtual line. Each buoy (1) comprises a camera (4) oriented towards the other buoy (1). The camera (4) is coupled to a processor configured for real time detection of a vessel presence in the image captured and for sending data related to the detection event by means of communication unit. Thus, images and/or photographs of the vessel can be sent to an inland control centre in real time.
