Here is the link to the manufacture's info:
W舐tsil RT-flex96C and RTA96C low-speed engines

W闊腎sil RT-flex96C and RTA96C low-speed marine diesel engines are tailor-made for the economical propulsion of large, fast container liners.

For all sizes of large, fast containerships from around 3000 up to more than 10,000 TEU capacity, at service speeds of around 25 knots, the RT-flex96C and RTA96C low-speed engines provide a comprehensive engine programme for power outputs from 25,320 to 84,420 kW.

Yes, I'm sure they are built right on the ship.

Japan isn't it. Man that thing is a monster. I wonder how they make the shaft.

I'm thinking of dropping one into my smart car.

Godzilla must have had something to use when he changed engines on his giant hot rod.
