Yes my understanding is that more and bigger diesel units will allow the ships to use the diesels for routine running most of the time - the existing diesels were only really meant to provide harbour power. So once the PIP is complete the GTs and the intercoolers, which as you say have themselves undergone a lot of remedial work, will only have to be fired up on the rare occasions that dash speed is required, as opposed to being run constantly.
