When a ship is on shore power, is anyone familiar with the standard practice for providing an Earth Connection? ABS talks about a requirement as does DNV. The requirement is vague (just says an earth terminal/connection is required) and I’ve never actually seen one on the ships that I’ve worked. Where is this connection typically placed? Is it a receptacle or just a lug somewhere on the hull? Very curious to see if anyone has dealt with this before. Thanks!
