In case of failure of the ship’s main power generation system, an emergency power system or a standby system is used. The emergency power supply ensures that the essential machinery systems continue to operate the ship. Batteries or an emergency generator or even both can supply emergency power on ships.
Ratings of the emergency power supply should be such that it is able to support all essential systems such as:
- Steering gear system.
- Emergency bilge and fire pumps.
- Watertight doors.
- Fire fighting system.
- Ship’s navigation lights and emergency lights.
- Communication and alarm systems.
