Copied one of the YouTube comments below the video.........

This is nowhere near to being a Mega Ship Engine. The Wartsila Sulzer literally makes this look tiny...this entire engine is 350l. Just one cylinder of a W- S is is 1800 litres...



I remember as a kid working for GM's Terex Division as a machinist in Hudson Ohio. They had a separate building where they were putting together their prototype missile carrier for the MX Missile Project (which was never approved).

Anyhoo, this vehicle was so big you could walk under the engine and look up at it. It was a massive Cat diesel. Never saw an engine that big in my life but it was Tinker Toy size compared to the subject engine.
