25,000 litre 14-cylinder - that'd be OPEN CLASS, right?

IHI are 50% my employers, I worked on this engine at commissioning. If you want to know where that engine ended up, then have a look at Emma Maersk. If you want to know where it is now, she is at anchor with about 30% of the rest of the worlds container fleet.

Emma was built to take advantage of an economy of scale that no longer exists. I doubt they will ever build one as big again.
