Engines

In 1931 Harvey was built with five gasoline engines. These were replaced with five 600 horsepower diesels in 1957.

These current engines are Fairbanks - Morse opposed piston Model 38F5¼ which consist of 8 cylinders with 16 pistons.

These five main engines provide the power for both propulsion and pumping.

The complex engine room also contains a large array of auxiliary equipment including two independent diesel-generator sets and powerful air compressors.
