The Wärtsilä RT-flex96C is a two-stroke turbocharged low-speed diesel engine designed by the Finnish manufacturer Wärtsilä. It is designed for large container ships that run on heavy fuel oil. Its largest 14-cylinder version is 13.5 meters high, 26.59 meters long, weighs over 2,300 tonnes, and produces 80.08 megawatts.
A modern diesel engine aboard a cargo ship Intake and exhaust flow in a 2-stroke heavy-duty diesel engine Most modern ships use a reciprocating diesel engine as their prime mover, due to their operating simplicity, robustness and fuel economy compared to most other prime mover mechanisms.
These ships were shorter, narrower, and had less draft than the earlier C1 designs, and were rated at only 11 knots (20 km/h). USS Alamosa is an example of a C1-M ship. The C1-M-AV1 subtype, a general cargo ship with one large diesel engine, was the most numerous. About 215 of this type were built in ten different shipyards.
Selandia and sister ship Fionia were results of negotiations between the Danish East Asiatic Company's president, Hans Niels Andersen, and Burmeister & Wain shipyards, Copenhagen, Denmark which had been introduced to the concept of marine diesel engines by engineer Ivar Knudsen, who led the ship's development.
The Deltic-powered Hunt-class mine countermeasures vessel HMS Ledbury. Development began in 1947 and the first Deltic model was the D18-11B, produced in 1950. It was designed to produce 2,500 hp (1,900 kW) at 2000 rpm for a 15-minute rating; the continuous rating being 1,875 hp (1,398 kW) at 1700 rpm, based on a 10,000-hour overhaul or replacement life.

The Sedef Shipyard in Tuzla, Istanbul was commissioned by May 2009 with the task to convert the cargo ship into a Powership by installing the needed engine generators, transformers and the electric switchboards on board. [11] Doğan Bey is the first of its kind, a Powership with dual-fuel diesel engines installed on board. [12]
The ship was originally built in 1979 for U.S. Steel [2] and was named for their former chairman and chief executive officer, Edwin H. Gott. . The ship was originally built with two 16-cylinder Enterprise DMRV-16-4 diesel engines which powered twin propellers and was rated at 19,500 brake horsepower (14,500 kW). [4]
The RUMO Diesel Plant manufactures large diesel engines for river cargo ship propulsion and diesel generator sets. It also manufactures reduction gears for cargo ships, integral-shaft diesel/gas compressors for pipeline boosting and for secondary oil extraction in petroleum fields, as well as metal products and household goods.
