126 FEATURE Lloyd’s Register Lloyd’s Register (LR) is an international marine shipping classification, ship design, energy transition advisory, compliance and consultancy services provider. The latest research from LR’s digital transformation research programme, ‘Effective Alarm Management in the Maritime Industry’, analysed more than 40 million alarm-related events across 11 operational vessels and found that excessive, nuisance and poorly prioritised alarms can overwhelm crews, disrupt rest and erode trust in critical safety systems. LR’s advisory approach combines alarm system auditing, performance assessment, rationalisation, prioritisation and response procedure development to help operators identify the causes of alarm flooding and reduce unnecessary alerts. A pilot project on an operational cruise ship cut total alarm numbers by almost 50 per cent over a six-month period through practical engineering interventions, without major redesign. Lr GB 67 CBG Systems Australia-based CBG Systems (CBG) has been providing a range of lightweight fire insulation panels to the marine industry for over 30 years. The Rapid Access Composite (RAC) Plus system (A-60 SFP) and B15 Lite represent CBG’s commitment to preserving and protecting life at sea, driving continuous improvement across the world’s passenger shipping fleet. As electric propulsion transforms the maritime industry, these systems deliver premium fire safety precisely where it matters most, safeguarding battery systems and electrical infrastructure. RAC Plus (A-60 SFP), which comes in the form of wall panelling, can withstand temperatures of more than 1,000oC and offer at least 60 minutes of fire protection. It weighs just 4.5 kilos per square metre. B15 Lite is a class partition and ceiling system for use in lightweight applications of deckheads and bulkheads. It weighs 7.5 kilos per square metre. Together, RAC Plus and B15 Lite offer operators weight savings and safety. Cb AU 76
