Creator's Key Takeaways
The Heavy Seas probably caused movements in the tank so large that the supply to the lubricating oil pump stopped.
This triggered an alarm indicating a low level of lubrication oil which in turn shortly thereafter caused an automatic shutdown of the engines.
I'm worried about power outages a little bit I'm worried about listing there's enough evidence to say that those happen from time to time.
Freaks me out a little bit that just not being able to get oil from the oil Reserve to the engine was something that would shut the whole system down.
