Ships generate thousands of daily alarms with little operational value, disrupting 63% of rest periods on vessels with unattended machinery. A pilot project demonstrated that traditional engineering interventions reduced alarm volume by 50% without new technology, while addressing the top 10 most frequent alarms could cut overall loads by 40%. The findings call for human-centered alarm system design and objective performance standards. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
