Containerized power generation installation requirements

What is a containerised generator set?

On a regular basis, containerised generator sets (CGS) are placed on board ships to provide replacement power in case of a damage to one of the ship's generator sets, or additional power, e.g. to provide power to extra deck equipment or reefer containers. There are currently no clear rules and requirements for such time limited installations.
