UNIT II. TYPES OF ALARMS ON BOARD
1. Read the text and translate the text.
Emergency Alarms
A ship crew must be prepared all the time to tackle and fight against any kind of
emergencies which can arise due to reasons such as rough weather, machinery
malfunction, pirate attack, human error etc. Such emergencies can lead to fire,
collision, flooding, grounding, environmental pollution, and loss of life.
The alarms should be clearly understood by everybody onboard. All alarms and
indicators should be clearly marked.
Types of Alarm and Signals on Ship
1. Fire System Alarm
The fire signal or alarm must be a continuous blast of the ship whistle or
electrical bell and red lightening. This alarm comes up whenever a fire detector sense
flame or smoke around the compartment it was installed.
2. Ship General Alarm
This is a common but major alarm to be aware of onboard any vessel. As per
ships, “the general emergency alarm on the ship is recognized by 7 short ringings of
the bell followed by a long ring or using the ship horn signal of 7 short blasts
followed by 1 long blast”.
Normally, the vessel general alarm system activation point is located on the
navigation bridge. Once the general alarm signal onboard is activated, every ship
crew and visitors must follow the instruction and duty’s listed in the muster list and
proceed to the designated muster station.
3. Abandon Ship Alarm
The sounds or signal are more than six short blasts and one prolonged blast on
the ship’s whistle. Same signal on the general alarm bell is used as an abandon ship
sound signal onboard the ship.
Once this signal or sounds comes up, everybody has to quickly advance to
emergency muster station where the master or his substitute (Chief mate) will address
the situation of the apartment.
Also note, when the emergency on board ship goes out of hand, and the ship is
no longer safe for the crew and visitors on board ship, the signal for abandon ship is
given verbally by the master to the station in charge of the crew on the ship’s
Personal Addressing (PA) system.

17
4. Man Overboard Alarm
The alarm signal comprises of the vessel’s internal alarm bell for 3 long rings
to notify the crew and visitors on-board, along with 3 long blasts on the ship whistle
to inform the other ships in the nearby vicinity to keep away.
If MOB (man over board), a signal light and smoke can also be mounted in the
bridge, attached by the side of the lifebuoy. When thrown in the water, it will emit smoke
and light to draw attention of other ships around the vicinity, as well as ship’s crew.
5. Machinery Space and Cargo hold CO2 Alarm
The machinery space and cargo hold are fitted with a CO2 fixed fire
extinguishing system. They comprises of audible and visual alarm for the CO2 fixed
firefighting system. It’s entirely different from the machinery space alarm, cargo hold
water ingress alarm or other alarms.
This alarm normally activate upon opening the release cabinet door, which is
used to open and release the CO2 bottle banks either to the machinery space or Cargo
hold.
The signal light is red and could be written CO2 alarm indication, The audible
and visual alarm for the CO2 fixed firefighting system is entirely different from other
ship alarms for your better understanding; the audible alarm usually distinguished
from other ships’ alarms by the adjustment of sound pressure and sound patterns.
6. Ship Security Alarm
Ship Security Alarm system (SSAS) is silent alert or signal in a pirate
attack emergency situation.
When the SSAS is activated, no alarm is sounded on board the ship nor alerts
other vessels in the vicinity.
This signal notifies different coastal authorities or competent authorities whose
proximity to the ship is presently operating via a global satellite system to inform
about the piracy attack location, time, date, etc.
This alarm device is installed onboard vessels as per regulation XI-2/5 of
SOLAS Chapter XI, which says that “all ships shall be provided with a ship security
alert system”.
7. Navigational bridge and Machinery Space Alarms
Both on the navigation bridge and in the Machinery Space, most of the
equipment are fitted with failure alarms.
If any of these equipment malfunction, a ship alarm signal on the bridge or
engine control room (ECR) will be sounded whose details like; location of fault,
equipment affected, type of problem etc. will be displayed on the notification screen
provided on the control panel.

Muster List
A muster list is basically a list which is displayed in prominent areas of the
vessel so that every crew member on onboard can read it on a go. Normally
lifeboat deck area is made as a common muster point. Some of the important areas
where the muster list is posted are - bridge, engine room, accommodation alleyways
etc., areas where ship’s crew spends the maximum of their time.
The Important features which are displayed in the muster lists are:
- Types of Emergency and different alarms for the same.
- Main emergencies like fire, man overboard, abandon ship, oil spill etc. are
listed along with dedicated visual and audible alarms.

20
- Instruction to follow in case of different types of emergencies.
- Brief instruction is given in case the alarm for a particular emergency is
sounded, which includes action to be taken by the crew onboard.
Assigned duties for abandon ship.
All the crew listed in the muster list are assigned with duties to perform in
emergency situation like carrying EPIRB and SART, lifeboat and life raft
launching etc.
The muster list is posted to keep the crew aware of the different emergency
situations and duties to be performed if such situations occur in reality. For this,
regular training and drill must be conducted by the master of the ship to ensure that
all crew members are familiar with lifesaving and firefighting appliances.
You should make yourself familiar with all relevant safety equipment and
emergency escapes as soon as possible. Your emergency muster point is indicated in
your cabin and on the Muster list. Also, make sure to wear appropriate PPE (Personal
Protective Equipment) when working. Full PPE will be worn in all areas outside the
accommodation, except the forecastle deck area. Full PPE must also be worn during
drills and emergency exercise. Life jackets and survival suits are stowed in the cabins.
Some spare life jackets are stowed at the embarkation point. There are boarding
ladders at the embarkation points on the main deck.
Glossary
PPE — Personal Protective Equipment, like helmet, goggles, safety boots,
protective clothing, etc.
Embarkation — boarding, getting aboard a ship.
Provide — supply, make available.
Allocate — to give to someone for his own use.
MOB boat — Man Overboard rescue boat.
