Seen that beast here in Felixstowe, she is massive! Sadly now she is (I think!) not even in the top five biggest container ships in the world. The MSC Loreto berthed here a couple of weeks ago and I could see her from our office window (second floor, Cosco Shipping house!) and my jaw hit the floor when I saw her. Huge? The words "she's f*****g enormous!" left my lips a few times.........Dont you just LOVE videos like these...........

@@SunriseLAW it’s still a diesel engine as the name came from Rudolph diesel, and is classified only by being a compression ignition engine not by the fuel it burns as diesels can literally burn a host of fuels as long as they burn, and can be introduced into the cylinder in a way that the fuel won’t pre ignite. Diesel fuel literally got named such because of the engine not the other way around.

I’m just thankful that it’s being built in Germany, a place where the people are highly intelligent and diligent. American industry’s quality and excellence is currently being further eroded by “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” The ill effects of DEI are soaking into every facet of American society. The low IQ “workers” we import from third world nations are causing more harm than good. For example, dozens more US citizens are killed each year by semi truck drivers in fatal accidents involving the driver’s inability to perform his job safety and responsibility on the road. This rise in deaths is directly related to the increase in imported labor and “DEI” hiring policies in America that overlook more qualified workers simply because the melanin levels of their skin aren’t plentiful enough. Even the errors in this video can be attributed to DEI .. did you notice who they chose to narrate the video? The Marxists are on the rise once again.

Three times between 2006 and 2018 I worked for several months across the street from MTU in Friedrichshafen Germany, with Zeppelin. (A different MTU facility from that shown here) The two companies even share a parking garage. Later this year I finally get to go inside MTU for training on a similar 20 cylinder 2.6 megawatt (3,500HP) engine that is the heart of a compressor system we sell to boost the power of Gas turbine generators. Kind of ironic using a reciprocating engine driving a multi-stage intercooled compressor to boost a 100 Mw turbine when the engine itself is turbocharged and intercooled. Nice presentation.
