The world’s biggest engine is indeed a great colossus, with a height of approximately 13.5 metres, a length of 26.6 m and a weight of 2300 tonnes.
It has 14 cylinders and the capacity per cylinder is 5,720 kW, which gives it a total capacity of 80,080 kW.
It was manufactured to transport ultra-large container ships which carry approximately 16,000 containers.
The engine has a significant capacity, but also a great "thirst" – if it ran for an entire day, it would consume 250 tonnes of fuel!
