Physical key distribution adds a stop to the journey. A digital key puts cabin access on the passenger’s phone—so they can get on with being away.

At a compatible cabin lock, the phone becomes the key. A small gesture replaces the handover of a physical card.

- Does cabin access work without internet?
- A downloaded mobile key works until its checkout date and time. Downloading or updating a key requires a data connection.
- Can passengers still use physical keycards?
- Yes. Mobile keys and physical keycards can work for the same cabin. Reception can provide a physical card if a passenger has no smartphone or a flat battery.

The FLEXIPAX SDK puts the cabin key inside the passenger app you already run. Guests book the trip, tap “Get key” and open their cabin over Bluetooth Low Energy, without leaving your app.
How does the FLEXIPAX SDK work?
The FLEXIPAX SDK is a native app toolkit that adds mobile cabin keys to a cruise or ferry operator’s existing passenger app. After booking, the passenger taps “Get key” in the operator’s app and the key is delivered to their phone. At the cabin door, the phone opens a compatible lock using Bluetooth Low Energy. Lock compatibility and the reservation-system connection are reviewed for each vessel.

GOOD QUESTIONS.
CLEAR WATERS.
Mobile cabin access, explained for your next fleet conversation.
DISCUSS YOUR VESSEL01Who is FLEXIPAX designed for?
FLEXIPAX provides mobile cabin keys for cruise and ferry operators. Marine operations, IT teams and integration partners can discuss connecting passenger access with compatible cabin locks and reservation systems.
02Can we use our existing cabin locks?
Compatibility needs to be reviewed with your lock provider. Start with the lock model, Bluetooth Low Energy capability and door-lock software version; the team can then discuss the integration requirements for your vessel.
03Can mobile keys connect to our passenger app or booking system?
Yes. FLEXIPAX integrates with your own passenger app: the FLEXIPAX SDK adds mobile keys inside your existing native app, so passengers never have to leave it. FLEXIPAX also offers API integration for reservation systems and its own app option. The right approach depends on your current systems and how you want to deliver keys to passengers.
04Does a mobile cabin key work without internet at sea?
Once downloaded, a mobile key remains available until its checkout date and time. Downloading or updating a key, including after a cabin change, requires a data connection.
05What happens if a passenger has no smartphone or a flat battery?
Physical keycards can remain available alongside mobile keys. A passenger without a usable phone can ask reception for a physical keycard.
06What should we prepare for a marine mobile-key demo?
Bring your vessel or fleet context, cabin-lock provider and model, reservation-system details, and passenger-app requirements. These help the team discuss compatibility and the most appropriate integration approach.
07What is a marine mobile cabin key?
A marine mobile cabin key is a digital credential on a passenger smartphone that opens a compatible cabin lock. FLEXIPAX connects mobile cabin access with reservation systems for cruise and ferry operators. The phone communicates with a compatible lock using Bluetooth; a digital boarding pass alone is not a cabin key.
08How does a passenger unlock a cruise or ferry cabin with a phone?
The passenger first receives and downloads their mobile cabin key through the configured app and key-delivery process. They then bring the phone close to the compatible cabin reader and follow the app instructions. The key must be valid for that cabin and stay.
09What is the difference between a mobile cabin key and a physical keycard?
A mobile key stores the cabin-access credential on a smartphone; a physical keycard carries it on a separate card. Both can be used alongside each other with a compatible setup. Keeping physical keycards available gives passengers a fallback when their phone is unavailable.
10What is the difference between a mobile-key API and an SDK?
An API connects software systems, such as a reservation system and a mobile-key service. An SDK gives developers components to integrate mobile-key functionality into an application. FLEXIPAX offers API and SDK integration options; the required combination depends on the booking workflow, passenger app and lock system.
11Does every Bluetooth cabin lock support FLEXIPAX mobile keys?
No. Bluetooth capability alone does not establish compatibility. The lock manufacturer, model, firmware or door-lock software and available integration need to be reviewed together. Confirm the complete setup before choosing hardware or planning a rollout.
12What should an operator check before introducing mobile cabin keys?
Review cabin-lock compatibility, the reservation-system connection, passenger key delivery and the availability of internet for downloading or updating keys. Also plan for cabin changes, reception support and a physical-keycard fallback. Include operations and technical teams in the review.
