First Sulzer RTA84 Engine Successfully Started The first Sulzer RTA84 engine, a six-cylinder model, is now undergo- ing test-bed trials at Mitsubishi's Kobe engine works. Started in Au- gust, it has already run successfully at full load and is now going through a series of optimization trials. As the largest bore size in the RTA series, the RTA84 offers re- markable fuel economy through the combination of extremely low fuel consumption and very low propeller speeds, down to 65 rev/min mini- mum. Covering a power range of 7280-39 720 kw (9,920-54,000 bhp), it is particularly attractive for the very large ore/bulk carriers now be- ing ordered. Further orders have already been received to power large containerships and VLCCs. The 6RTA84 now being tested has a maximum continuous contract rating of 12,555 kw (17,070 bhp) at 70 rev/min and is to be installed in a 155,000-dwt ore/bulk carrier build- ing at Mitsubishi's Nagasaki ship- yard for Shinwa Kaiun and Nippo Kisen.
