No not mine. I drive an X6, not a container ship. A contact put this up on the web.
The force needed to do that must have been enormous. I think the engine is an 8-cyl marine diesel called a 'cathedral'.

I see the proportions now, thought that was a zoomed in pic. Can see the size of it now with the guy standing behind. Damn that's big!

Wow. I used to work in nuclear power plants and one plant I was at we had four 8 MW diesels for emergency power supplies but these look to be 3 or 4 times that size at least. Would like to be there with one running!!!
