Big Max Runs
The first 12 cylinder Sulzer RT-flex96C low speed marine engine developed by Wartsila Corporation completed its official shop test last month. With a maximum continuous power output of 93,360bhp at 102rpm, it is the most powerful engine thus far to employ common rail technology. The engine is one of four ordered last year to power four 7,700 teu post-Panamax boxships being built in Japan.
The organisation is seeking to galvanise support for a vision which would make space for both people and wildlife through better planning at sea, set aside areas free from extractive uses, and find ways to help communities live with changing coastlines.
