It has been reported that port state control in Australia and Indonesia often point out that the onboard emergency generator fails to automatically connect to the emergency switchboard (hereinafter, ESB) when a blackout simulation test is carried out at the request of a PSC officer.

SOLAS II-1/Reg.43.7 requires that provisions for the testing of the emergency source of electrical power, including its automatic starting arrangement, are to be made.
Whenever a failure of the emergency source of electrical power to connect to the ESB is detected, it should be pointed out as a deficiency. Further, there is a possibility that the deficiency might be judged as a lack of proper SMS implementation.
Detail information is attached ClassNK PSC Bulletin NK-PSC-14.
