Alarm Management - the alarm overload challenge and its impact on day-to-day operations.

Sensors and other control elements work continuously to detect degradations or abnormalities and alert any to the watchkeeping officer typically by the provisioning of brightly coloured and noisy alarms, engineered to immediately attract the attention of any human in its vicinity.

Alarms are meant to protect operations – yet onboard vessels they can also compete for attention, drive mode confusion, and push decision-making toward fast, habitual responses.
