Two generators were ran in parallel. One stopped because of mechanical failure. They say problem was the injection pumps. The power was taken over by the second generator and got overloaded so it switched off. 450 reefers was on board, which consumes a lot. When blackout happens restarting the systems takes time, and during this period the steering gear is not working. On a smaller ship this time is short, max a minute but on so large vessel it can take few minutes.
