| abstract | - The only engine of this type known to have been built is a member of the Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C family. It is the worlds most powerful combustion engine and is mounted in the Emma Mærsk, the worlds largest container ship. It is of two-stroke diesel engine configuration. The engine became well-known due to photos taken at the Aioi Works in Japan, which subsequently spread through blogs. The 14-cylinder version of this modular engine displaces cubic inches (L), with a inches (mm) cylinder bore and in (mm) piston stroke. The engine is feet (m) long, ft (m) high, and weighs tonnes ( long tons/ short tons). If built, the 14-cylinder variant of the MAN B&W K108ME-C would be even larger at nearly metres (ft) long, and over tonnes ( long tons/ short tons), and more powerful at kilowatts (hp).
