Cathedral Power
After a rash of containership design and propulsion system initiatives aimed at extending the reach of the most potent engines already in production, the industry has now been presented with a powering option offering an unprecedented output from a single-engine plant. Wärtsilä Corporation has indeed pushed back the bounds, breaking with the traditional 12-cylinder limit on in-line diesel design, by proposing a 14-cylinder version of its largest two-stroke class. The addition of a 14-cylinder option to its potent Sulzer RTA96C series has been given extra effect by a four percent across-the-board uprating, such that a single-engine solution can now be offered for power requirements up to a stunning 108,920-bhp (80,080-kW).
