Worlds largest ship engine - 14 Cylinder - 14RT Flex96C Tier II

[@TomokosEnterprize]

What a beast. In my youth I worked for Cooper Bessemer in Stratford Ontario Canada. The 20 or 16 cylinder KSV was the largest engine they made at that time. It had a 63 foot long crankshaft. That is coming from an 80 year old so likely I may be making mistakes. I was 18 when I started there. Right out of machinist school. They found that getting us fresh and new we weren't bothered by the size of the engines and pipe line compressors we were making .Trade machinists traditionally didn't stay there very long. Seeing this sure brings a lot og great memories back to me. Thank you.

In the early 1,960s B&W produced marine diesel engines with a power output of 2,000 HP (1,500 kW) per cylinder. 60 years later these new engines produce four times as much power per cylinder than the engines I attended on board ships in the early 1,960s!

The rpm has been lowered from 102 to 90 rpm I think it was (don't remember excact numbers). This reduced the fuel consumption from 250 tons a day to 160 tons I believe it was.
