Article Abstract:

The International Maritime Organization is considering whether to make bridge navigation watch alarms mandatory for ships. There is a concern that the alarms would be used to endorse putting fewer officers on watch while others say that ensuring that crews get enough sleep is a better solution to the problem of deck officers falling asleep on the job.
