Vessel propulsion systems
Ship engines are the propulsion systems that power watercraft, ranging from small outboard motors to massive marine diesels in cargo vessels.
Unlike automobile engines, ship engines often run continuously for weeks and must operate reliably far from repair facilities.
The largest container ships use engines the size of small buildings, burning heavy fuel oil.
The ship's engines hummed steadily as we crossed the Atlantic.
