The engine is the largest reciprocating engine in the world. The 14-cylinder version first entered commercial service in September 2006 aboard the Emma Mærsk. The design is similar to the older RTA96C engine, but with common rail technology (in place of traditional camshaft, chain gear, fuel pump and hydraulic actuator systems).
EMD diesels in the engine room of the Research Vessel Davidson circa 2002. On a ship, the engine room (ER) [1] is the compartment where the machinery for marine propulsion is located. The engine room is generally the largest physical compartment of the machinery space.
Power for the ship is provided by 12 MAN 8L51/60DF [14] inline eight-cylinder four-stroke engines equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to achieve IMO Tier III emissions. "DF" denotes dual-fuel, which means the engines can operate on either low-sulfur Marine Gas Oil (MGO) or liquefied natural gas (LNG). [15]
This is a list of container ships with a capacity larger than 20,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU).. Container ships have been built in increasingly larger sizes to take advantage of economies of scale and reduce expense as part of intermodal freight transport.
V12 marine diesel engines . Human-powered paddles and oars, and later, sails were the first forms of marine propulsion. Rowed galleys, some equipped with sail, played an important early role in early human seafaring and warfares. The first advanced mechanical means of marine propulsion was the marine steam engine, introduced in the early 19th ...

This engine is used in the Emma Mærsk, which was the world's largest container ship when it was built in 2006. The engine produces 80,080 kW (107,390 hp) and displaces 25,340 L (1,546,342 in 3), has a bore of 960 mm (38 in) and a stroke of 2,500 mm (98 in). The engine is 27.3 m (90 ft) long, 13.5 m (44 ft) high and weighs 2,300 t (2,535 short ...
At the back end of the fuselage there’s still space for an Entourage Area, similar to a premium economy cabin. ... The long-awaited 777X, the world’s largest twin-engine jet, is expected to ...
