I assume that this is a nine cylinder Wärtsilä-Sulzer RT flex 96-C, no?

[DieselEngineering]

RTA, not a flex.

LOL! The nice thing about ship engines is you can WALK to every part, you don't have to reach your hand into a small pocket of space to get to the air intake for instance.!

Man, I'd love to hear what that thing sounds like at startup.

@oiseautempete

I know. My comment was meant as a joke.

@istvanklein This is a diesel 2 stroke, nothing to due with a common gasoline 2 troke

[istvanklein]

My first car was a Trabant with a two-stroke engine, but that was smaller

[DeeperDarkest]

massive amount of CC's and it still goes ring a ding ding lol

[scott93257]

and how much does each piston weigh roughly? Sorry for all the questions...I'm just curious :)

[scott93257]

What are the specs of this engine? I know the 14 cylinder inline is mammoth.. Over 100k horsepower and 5 million ft lbs of torque or some un-Godly numbers like that..

@mysticalwonder7 Yeah the engine is a room :P

@EETechs,@hiyadroogs I know it been sometime but I found your debate over cargo ship propulsion interesting & humors However I think the facts speak for themselves all large cargo ships today use single screw 2 stoke low speed diesels. I am quite sure shipping Co's such as Mærsk, Bergesen, Vale, OSG & others would choose another form of propulsion if more economical. One side note all US aircraft carriers regardless of class use or used Steam Turbines for Propulsion regardless of Steam source
