05/11/2006, return leg of vessel's Maiden Voyage - first call at the Port of Felixstowe, England.

A view of the main engine's top plates & exhaust valve platform.
The engine is a Wärtsilä 14RT Flex96C, producing 80,080 KW or 109,000 s.h.p., for 25.5 knots m.c.r. (maximum continuous rating).

The largest marine engine in existence, at that moment.

Fuel consumption will, of course, vary according to wind, sea conditions & speed, but it has been suggested that based on an 80,000 KW output with a consumption at 163-170 g/KWh then total consumption at full power output could be between 13.04 and 13.60 Metric tonnes per hour, which equates to between 312 to 327 Metric tonnes of bunkers per day, if in continuous use.

Also installed are five diesel generators with a combined power of 20,700 kW and one Peter Brotherhood (British built at Peterborough ) combined gas/steam turbine generator of 8,500 kW, part driven by the main engine exhaust.
