I don't know the specifics, but read when dodge put out the V10 in 1994 it was because the older 440 big block just couldn't get complete enough burn in the big cylinder holes to meet modern emissions. The v10 shared the same bore as the 360 V8 which had just been modernized in 1992.
So a reliable thumper like a Honda 90 may not scale up as well as you might think. Then again the biggest container ships use massive, massive reciprocating piston engines. They are efficient and meet modern emission requirements but emissions for 1000 foot container ships might be much more lax than new car emissions.
