An independent diesel generator could have been loaded onto the ship as easily as the spy equipment. It was a tanker, there was plenty of room for a genset and its own fuel. Then the ship's power plant wouldn't be taxed at all.
- bluGill 2y agoGenerally the people ordering radios don't think about that. They are used to land where you have more power to the building than you could possibly use.
- reactordev 2y agoThen you have radio equipment in addition to an independent diesel generator and fuel to explain… Yes it was a tanker. The bigger the ship doesn’t mean it has more people or more power generation like a cruise ship. A tanker has a crew of 4 plus captain, maybe?
- giantrobot 2y agoYou've got the spying equipment to explain if boarded. An extra generator is hardly a concern. If anything an auxiliary generator can be explained as a backup/replacement for the ship's mandated backup generator.
