[BITList] passenger ships -FMEA

[FS]

Colin
Never came across a power limit system in the merchant ships but in the 
oil field once SCR systems came on line there where various attempts by 
different manufactures to protect the equipment from the idiots that 
operate it but the only one that managed it was Ross Hill (Australian of 
course) and his system worked brilliantly in preventing the drilling 
system from overloading the system even when only one genny was on line
