Wärtsilä, a Finnish manufacturer, designed a two-stroke turbocharged low-speed diesel engine specifically for large container ships using heavy fuel oil. Its largest version, a 14-cylinder model, stands 13.5 meters tall, measures 26.59 meters in length, and weighs over 2,300 tons. This engine, with an output of 80.08 megawatts, is the world's largest reciprocating engine, towering four stories high when fully assembled.

In 2006, this engine was installed on what was then the world's largest cargo ship. It consumes 1,660 gallons of fuel per hour, approximately 7,546 liters, with a total consumption reaching up to 25,480 liters. The engine delivers a maximum output of 108,920 horsepower at 102 rpm and a peak torque of 7,756 million Newton meters at 102 rpm. Its fuel consumption is comparable to that of 3,000 high-performance car running at full speed, totaling over 3,000 tons of fuel per day. This makes it the largest diesel engine on Earth, truly a "giant" in its class.
