M/S "JUTLANDIA"
- part 2 -
- The Engine Room -
Added Page: 2022-04-04
I mentioned in the beginning, that "JUTLANDIA" and her sister had in those days the most powerful diesel plant ever installed in a ship.
Later a Japanese ship was built with slightly more horsepower,- but that more powerful ship "only" had two engines,- while "JUTLANDIA" had three - - -
Therefore I have reason to believe, that the engine room of "JUTLANDIA",- and her sister-, were still the most impressive engine rooms around - - -
Therefore I will include some pictures from one of the mightiest engine rooms the World had ever seen - - -
1973-19-056 - M/S "Jutlandia" - This is the engine control room,- the nerve center of the ship - - And,- by the way-, it's ME standing at the control console, photographed by ME - (Photo- and copyright: Karsten Petersen)

1973-19-061 - M/S "Jutlandia" - Here is what it is all about: 3 giant B&W diesel engines - (Photo- and copyright: Karsten Petersen)
And here it is!
The top platform of the biggest engine plant in the world -
To the left you see the port side engine with 9 cylinders, - and in the center you have the 12 cylinder engine,- and hidden behind it you can just see the starboard side, 9 cylinder engine,- totally 30 cylinders!
And turbochargers? Well - the center engine had 4 , - and each side enginge had 3 - totally 10 turbochargers - - -
Fuel valves? Here we had 90 pieces - - - 30 cylinders with three fuel valves in each - - - Some job to maintain - - -
Those 3 main engines had 10 turbochargers,- and with 3 fuel injection valves per cylinder,- we have 90 fuel valves!
And the power output? Just over 80000 IHP -
