Modern vessels are in high competition under restrictions like increasing fuel costs and growing demands for improved environmental protection technology. These facts play one growing role in the initial design of today's vessels. In addition to that, requirements for undelayed time schedules, safer operation and low maintenance influence the design of the main propulsion and generation-distribution system. Demands for higher flexibility and more efficient ship design are driving factors for intelligent combined generation-distribution systems together with an improved propulsion system which allows to reduce the energy costs drastically and follows the environmental rules. The paper shows that an intelligent power management system is able to control the operation under fault and outage situations with high availability and reliability and fulfills the high design criteria.
