The Offshore Division of MAN Diesel received the order for the supply of generator sets with a combined output of almost 95 MW for what will be, dimensionally, the largest vessel in existence, and will include working functions which also set world records in their specialist field. The contract will also involve the first V-configuration engines to be produced in MAN Diesel’s new four-stroke medium-speed engine series, the 560 kW per cylinder 32/44 CR with commonrail fuel-injection technology. This new mega-vessel has been ordered by the Swissbased Allseas Group S.A., an offshore installation contractor, and is a twin-hull construction with main dimensions 1181 ft. (360 m) long by 383.8 ft. (117 m) wide.
