How much fuel does a ship burn in an hour? “Emma Maersk” is a large container ship built in 2006 which can carry about 11000 TEUs (Twenty-foot-equivalent container units). It is powered by a Wartsila Sulzer RTA96-C 14-cylinder diesel engine, the largest single diesel unit in the world. The engine delivers a maximum power of 108,920 hp and a maximum torque of 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102 rpm. It has a total cylinders displacement of 25,480 L. The thermal efficiency of the engine is over 50% at maximum economy. At economical speed, the engine consumes 1,660 gal of heavy fuel oil an hour.  |

I'd like to see the Green's solution to replacing these cargo ships with green energy. It would take a bit more than a few solar panels and a bunch of Tesla batteries. LOL  |
