6 FAQs about Does the generator set container need to be fixed

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.

What is a genset container?

Genset containers, also known as generator set containers, are specialized enclosures meticulously engineered to house and safeguard generator sets. These purpose-built structures provide a controlled environment, shielding the generators from external elements such as harsh weather conditions, dust, and debris.

Do reefer containers need gensets?

Clip-on gensets are a good option if multiple reefer containers are transported via sea, road, or rail, where an electrical power grid or an undermount genset is not available. Certain warehouses or facilities are not set up with “reefer plugs”.

What happens if a generator set is damaged?

In other cases, a damaged generator set may cause difficulties for the vessel's cargo operations, e.g. reefers, seismic vessels, etc. If the repairs to the damaged generator set are foreseen to take considerable time, a temporary installation of a CGS on deck is often considered in order to enable the vessel to continue trading. The temporary

How does a reefer container genset work?

However, when a reefer container is transported, the generator set is not able to draw power through an electrical socket. Therefore, it requires an external power source, which is fuel (typically gas, diesel, or petrol). Due to the different modes of transport that a reefer container is moved by, there are various types of gensets.

Why are genset containers important?

These purpose-built structures provide a controlled environment, shielding the generators from external elements such as harsh weather conditions, dust, and debris. By ensuring optimal operating conditions, genset containers contribute to improved performance and extended lifespan of the power generation equipment.
