Reviewing the DP log, the DPO notices the PMS has recorded several near-overload events over recent shifts, each resolved automatically by fast load before any operational impact was visible to the watch. What should the DPO do with this information?

A. Only report it if a near-trip is eventually followed by an actual blackout

B. No action needed since the PMS successfully prevented any operational impact each time

C. This is purely an engineering department matter with no DP relevance

D. Raise it as a pattern, not a series of isolated non-events — repeated near-trips suggest the power plant is operating closer to its margin than intended, and this should be reported and investigated even though each individual event was automatically resolved without visible consequence

A. It is a manual logbook system maintained by the engineering officer

B. It exists solely to control hotel load (accommodation power), separate from DP thrust power

C. It only logs fuel consumption for reporting purposes

D. It automatically manages generator start/stop, load sharing, bus configuration, and load shedding to ensure sufficient power is always available for DP thrust demand, while protecting against blackout from overload

A. It refers to manually unloading cargo to reduce vessel draft

B. It is an automatic PMS function that disconnects pre-defined non-essential loads (or de-rates thruster demand) when generation capacity is at risk of being exceeded, preventing a generator overload trip that could cascade into a full blackout

C. It means switching all power to the emergency generator during normal operations

D. It is a planned maintenance activity to rotate generator running hours
