\n

Analysis of more than 40 million\u00a0alarm-related\u00a0events\u00a0shows\u00a0most alarms offer little operational value, disrupt rest and push crews toward risky workarounds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

New research from\u00a0Lloyd\u2019s Register (LR)\u00a0has\u00a0revealed that\u00a0excessive and nuisance\u00a0shipboard alarm systems are routinely overwhelming crews and, in many cases, actively undermining safety at sea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The findings, published today in\u00a0Effective Alarm\u00a0Management\u00a0in the Maritime Industry<\/em><\/a>\u00a0are based on\u00a0data collected from 11\u00a0operational vessels, spanning over 2,000 days and\u00a0more than\u00a040 million\u00a0alarm-related\u00a0events.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The study shows that many ships\u00a0generate\u00a0thousands of\u00a0alarms\u00a0every day, many of which provide little or no operational value. The result is widespread alarm fatigue, disrupted rest\u00a0periods\u00a0and a growing erosion of trust in systems that are intended to protect both crews and assets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The research applied\u00a0recognised industrial best practice, including IEC 62682 and EEMUA 191, to maritime operations for the first time at this scale. It\u00a0found that fewer than half of the vessels studied met the recommended benchmark of fewer than 30\u00a0alarms\u00a0per hour, while on ships with unattended machinery spaces alarms disrupted 63% of rest periods. In some cases, cruise ships experienced up to 2,600\u00a0alarms\u00a0per day, with peak rates reaching 4,691\u00a0alarms in just ten minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Crews, overwhelmed by the volume of alerts, are forced to silence alarms without acknowledgement or physically bypass alarm circuits, normalising unsafe practices and eroding trust in critical safety systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Effective Alarm Management in the Maritime Industry: Insights from 40 million vessel alarms\u00a0builds\u00a0on\u00a0LR\u2019s\u00a0Effective\u00a0Alarm\u00a0Management in\u00a0the\u00a0Maritime\u00a0Industry\u00a0report<\/a><\/em>\u00a0(released in September 2024)\u00a0by moving beyond diagnosis to\u00a0demonstrate\u00a0what can be achieved in practice.\u00a0A pilot project on an operational cruise ship\u00a0reduced\u00a0total\u00a0alarm\u00a0numbers by almost 50 per cent over\u00a0a\u00a0six-month\u00a0period, without\u00a0new technology\u00a0or major system redesign. Improvements were delivered through traditional marine engineering interventions, including correcting valve installations, replacing faulty\u00a0sensors\u00a0and tuning existing systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

LR\u2019s analysis also\u00a0demonstrates\u00a0that addressing the 10 most frequent alarms could\u00a0reduce\u00a0overall loads\u00a0by\u00a0nearly 40\u00a0per cent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The report calls for greater adoption of objective alarm performance assessment, stronger consideration of\u00a0human factors in system design and operation\u00a0throughout the vessel lifecycle, and regulatory frameworks that support consistent, enforceable standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Duncan Duffy, LR\u2019s Global Head of Technology, said:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cOur\u00a0research\u00a0found\u00a0that alarm systems, when poorly managed, have themselves become a safety risk. Without decisive industry action, alarm fatigue will continue to undermine situational awareness and increase the likelihood of serious incidents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIf the\u00a0maritime\u00a0industry is serious about safety, it must\u00a0commit to continuous performance measurement, objective evaluation, and a human-centred approach to alarm system design. Only then can alarm systems fulfil their intended purpose\u2014supporting crews, safeguarding lives, and ensuring safer voyages for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The research is part of\u00a0LR\u2019s Digital Transformation Research programme<\/a>, specifically designed to provide in-depth analysis of key opportunities and challenges for maritime digitalisation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
