“The diameter of the piston is 960 millimeters.
You can crawl inside.”
Jörg Dehde, Chief Engineer
In the meantime, however, Jörg Dehde prefers to leave that to his
crew. He doesn’t have any time anyway because, as Chief Engineer, he is responsible for all
the machinery, engines and electronic equipment on board. Naturally, the “showpiece” is the
12-cylinder ship engine. His response to a question about its power is somewhat understated:
”Horsepower? Around 100,000” and, as a second thought, he adds: “Basically we are a fully
fledged power plant. You could easily supply a small town with the power generated.” By the
way, he copes well with life on board – 6 months at a stretch – because he can look forward to
his holiday afterwards – all 4 months of it.
