On Friday morning, the Meyer Turku shipyard experienced several power outages, with reports indicating that power was lost three times by noon. Anna Hakala, the communications manager of the shipyard, stated that the cause of these outages is currently being investigated. As is routine in such situations, the ship was evacuated of its workers during the outages to ensure safety.

The Turku Energy electricity network was reportedly operating normally in the area surrounding the shipyard, which raised questions about the source of the disruptions. Interestingly, the shipyard has its own electrical network in addition to the regional power supply, suggesting that the outages could be linked to internal issues rather than the broader energy network managed by Turku Energy. This distinction may play a crucial role in identifying and resolving the problems causing the outages.

Such incidents can have significant implications for shipbuilding operations, potentially delaying projects and affecting workers. Regular drills and safety protocols, as mentioned by Hakala, emphasize the importance of preparedness in industrial settings. The temporary evacuation ensures the safety of employees while the shipyard works on rectifying the electrical issues.
