Hey guys! is Balencia here with another video!
in balancia we provide a variety of interesting information and of course can increase your knowledge. so make sure you don't miss any opportunity to get useful information A maritime emergency at sea does not come with an alarm. Still, ship emergency signals and alarms, can help us tackle a crisis or avoid an emergency efficiently and in the right way. Emergency signals or alarms on a ship are installed all over the vessel’s various systems and machinery to notify the crew about a dangerous situation that can arise from different types of Emergency onboard the ship. Emergency alarms are of the audible and visual type to ensure that a person can listen to the audible alarm when working in an area where seeing a visual alarm is not possible and vice versa.
These are Top 5 types of emergency alarms or signal onboard ship that is installed to give audio-visual warnings:1. General Alarm:
The general emergency alarm on the ship is recognised 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.
The general alarm in a ship is sounded to make the crew aware that an emergency has occurred, such as Fire, collision, grounding, or a scenario that can lead to abandoning the ship etc. The vessel general alarm system activation point is located in the navigation bridge. Once the general alarm signal onboard is activated, i.e. seven short one long blasts, every ship crew must follow the instruction and duty’s listed in the muster list and proceed to the designated muster station.Action to be taken by the crew once ship general alarm is sounded:
Proceed to the designated muster stations
Listen to the Public Addressing (PA) system for the type of emergency (usually announced by OOW, Chief officer or Captain) leading to the general alarm on a ship.
Once the nature of the emergency is known, the crew member must re-group as per the Squad and take corrective action to tackle the situation as per the muster plan.
2. Fire Alarm on the Ship:
Whenever there is a fire detected on the vessel by its crew, they should raise the alarm signal onboard ship by pressing the nearest fire switch or by loudly and continuously shouting “FIRE FIRE FIRE”. Perform the duty listed in the muster list as per the team assigned
3. Man Overboard Alarm:
There have been many situations when a crew working on the ship-side or a passenger in a cruise ship fell in the water at high seas. When a man falls overboard, the man overboard alarm sound signal is activated on the ship.When the emergency on board ship goes out of hand, and the ship is no longer safe for the crew 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.More than six short blasts and one prolonged blast on the ship’s whistle and the same signal on the general alarm bell is used as an abandon ship alarm or sound signal onboard the ship. However, the alarm sounded is similar to a general alarm; and everybody comes to the emergency muster station where the master or his substitute (Chief Officer) gives a verbal order to abandon the ship.Carry your lifejacket/ immersion suit to the designated muster stationCarry any additional items (Blanket/ ration/ water etc.) as stated under the duty in the muster listAvoid taking longer routes and routes going from inside the accommodation to the muster stationWait for the master’s order to abandon the ship5. Navigational Alarm:In the navigation bridge, most of the navigational equipment and lights are fitted with failure alarms. If any of these malfunctions, a ship alarm signal on the bridge will be sounded whose details (location, equipment affected, type of problem etc.) will be displayed on the notification screen provided on the bridge navigation panel.

[@AlonsoMosly]

I was looking for alarm sounds, but talk too much. And you forgot the dive alarm.

[@khantsithu3574]

U mean abandon ship alarm?
It is the same with general alarm, 7 or more short blasts followed by one long blast.
And Captain's verbal order 'abandon ship...abandon ship'.

[@AlonsoMosly]

@Khant Sithu no. I mean dive alarm signal in submarine.
