Alarm overload is undermining safety at sea as new research shows crews face tens of thousands of daily alerts
Summary
Lloyd's Register reports that excessive shipboard alarms cause alarm fatigue and safety risks. The press release summarizes findings from a study of 11 vessels with over 40 million alarm events, showing many alarms lack value, with some ships exceeding thousands per day, and demonstrates practical improvements that cut alarms by about 50% in a cruise ship pilot.
