ORIANA's 'Rental solution'

 Maintaining ORIANA while she is in constant operation is not task to be taken lightly and it must feel like a never ending task from repainting her hull, replacing decking , maintaining her AC machinery and propulsion systems to keeping her interiors looking their best the crew's jobs around the ship are an on going process.
Many of these systems are virtually impossible to maintain while the ship is in active service and as a result can only be fully serviced while she is dry docked for refit.
One such system is ORIANA's emergency generators while not always in use they need to be ready to come online in the very unlikey event there is a power failure.
With ORIANA due for refit next year P&O have invested in novel solution that will allow the ship to continue operating at full efficency while also giving her crew tje ability to take various systems offline for maintance to keep them running until her refit,
On the 27th of May this year ORIANA had installed on the aft end of Deck 13 a 1250kVA  660-voltage  power generator by  Energyst CAT, a subsidiary of the Caterpillar Group oversaw the installation of the 
generator with 2 enginners sailing with the ship to ensure the every was completed satisfactorily.

As an interim solution this will allow the flexibility to maintain ORIANA's power plant and back up systems  without it impacting on her schedule.
