Bakker Sliedrecht makes sailing efficient with generator protection system Bakker Sliedrecht has developed a generator protection system (CDG Protection) that makes operating with a closed bus system when sailing more efficient and safer. The class-approved system is of particular importance for offshore diesel-electric vessels with a dynamic positioning system where blackouts are not permitted. “This protection is mandatory for DP vessels which sail with a closed bus system. On other ships, the crew must determine what to do in case of a failure or deviant behaviour. Then it depends on how alert they are”, said Paul Bracké, who retired from Blakker Sliedrecht in 2019. i. www.bakkersliedrecht.com
