I raised the question another thread about this, but there’s so much going on there it’s hard to keep track.
I’m no engineer, so please correct me if I’m wrong, but to me reefers tripping breakers doesn’t mean the ship is having propulsion and/or total blackouts. I haven’t spent a ton of time on container ships but I never once thought twice about plugging a reefer in and being worried about either blacking out the ship for lack of power or it tripping a breaker that would in turn black out the ship.
I’m not saying there’s no connection, but I guess I don’t see the obvious connection.
