Well OTN,
No telling these days. She appears to be some kind of a bulk hauler.
She could have 3 engines geared to a shaft, or two geared to a shaft and
a boiler for auxiliary stuff and that is just the top left corner of a
matrix these days.

Azipod (big assed electric outboards) seem to be the provice of cruise
ships that spend too much time manuavering, but I am told they are being
used on tankers because then the main unit can also provide unloading power.

Lots of lakers do something like this.
