Seems an engine went bang, which is obviously not impossible to sail without but reduces options for busy season, making up time, maintenance, etc

She's on 3 engines until early next year when it will take approx 8 weeks to replace the faulty unit.

Wishful thinking surely?  GNV obviously have a plan for her.
