The very best for a Queen

Maximum economy and opti- mal reliability are the two major requirements stipulated for the new propulsion plant on board that most famous of ocean-going hotels, the "Queen Elizabeth 2". After carefully comparing various propulsion concepts, the

Cunard Line shipping com- pany opted for M A N B&W's proposal based on nine 9 L 58/64 four-stroke Diesel engines. Once installed, these engines will develop an aggregate 130,000 HP and will provide this noble vessel with the propulsion power required for on-schedule Atlantic cross- ings and during leisurely cruises. A heavy fuel oil con- sumption rate of just 123 g/HPh and the advanced engine design based on a refined maintenance concept are factors which guarantee both economy and reliability.
