9. Propulsion

Though the Titanic II will be a replica of the original when it comes to aesthetics, engine power is another matter. The original coal-fired boilers, steam engines, and steam turbines will all be replaced with diesel-electric propulsion systems with four diesel generating sets. They will provide power for three azimuth thrusters, and two bow thrusters mounted sideways. A rudder will be replicated, though that is purely for show and has no maritime purpose.

The space that housed the steam engines and coal-fired boiler rooms will be used on the Titanic II for crew quarters and ship systems.
