  6. For VLCC supertankers and dry bulk container ships built in Hyundai shipyards in Ulasn here in Korea.

  7. It's for a container ship. Built by Wartsila-Sulzer. It's a two-stroke Diesel, 111,143 cubic inches and produces 7780 hp. There's also a 14-cylinder version that will put out 108,920 hp and has a displacement of 1,556,002! DAMN! :) Do a search for the maker... Neat stuff!
