🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) requirements for shipboard power • Difference between a generator and an energy storage device (like batteries or accumulators) • How SOLAS and GMDSS describe a dedicated back-up power source for radio equipment

💭 Think About

• Think about whether the definition is talking about a full electrical generator set, or something that stores energy to power the radios directly. • Which term sounds like it comes from formal GMDSS/SOLAS language rather than a made‑up phrase? • If the main and emergency generators are both unavailable, what kind of system is still able to supply power—does it need fuel or is it stored electrical energy?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which option refers to a source of energy rather than specifically to a diesel generator. • Consider which acronym you have actually seen in GMDSS exam questions and SOLAS text. • Ask yourself: can this back‑up source function without diesel fuel or a running engine if both generators are down?
