Seabourn Odyssey, Sojourn and Quest have VSDs on cooling water pumps and ventilation fans. The electric propulsion motor is run on a cyclo-convertor which is more or less a big VSD. Not sure if that is what you mean to ask. Seabourn Pride, Spirit and Legend have direct drive so no VSDs.

The reference as to the size of this engine is there – look to the left: there is a pallet (of chemicals?) that can give you an idea of the size.
Yet, agree, adding an attractive model would make it easier/nicer

Right you are, Mr. Porter. Odyssey and her sisters will have two fully independent engine room compartments for electrical generation. Likewise there will be two independent propulsion compartments with the electric motors, controls and shafting for the propellers. As for size, the non-technical term is BIG! That’s why Neil has to wear those ear protectors he has siitng on top of his head.

You should give reference as to the size of this engine, i.e. a person standing next to it. Would I be incorrect in suggesting that this engine is a diesel electric
unit.
