LR warns alarm overload is growing safety risk

Posted on: 1 April 2026

Lloyd’s Register’s newly published ‘Effective Alarm Management in the Maritime Industry’ report reveals how excessive alarms are overwhelming crews, offering one of the most detailed analyses in the industry, which is based on:

  • Over 40 million alarm-related events examined
  • 11 ships assessed across more than 2,000 days of operation
  • Evidence showing sensors and equipment were incorrectly set up, or calibrated, which led to bombarding crews with false alarms.

As part of LR’s Digital Transformation Research Programme, the research findings show that simple, targeted interventions can dramatically reduce nuisance alarms, improve situational awareness, and allow crew to focus on the alarms that truly matter.
