Sulzer RTA60C: Big Power For Fast-Type Ships

Wärtsilä NSD used the recent NorShipping exhibition in Oslo as a launching pad for its latest offering to the marine world, the Sulzer RTA60C, an engine designed for faster type ship requiring power outputs up to 18,880 kW (25,680 bhp). The RTA60C furthers the mandate to offer cleaner, more efficient power packages in a smaller space and less weight consuming manner. One indication of its compact dimensions is the fact that the six-cylinder version is just 7,620 mm long. Length has been minimized in similar ways to those that have been proven a success in the RTA48T and RTA58T engines. The fact that the cylinder covers each have just four holding-down studs further accounts for the compact arrangements, while simplifying manufacture.
