Actually, that's very interesting, thanks. After you sent me this link
I found another site that has much of the same information, www.feys.org.
That site at last puts a price tag, one of $73K, on a system with 4 x 133hp
electric motors plus a 400kW diesel generator.
Which in fact is exactly what I want - except for more generators, which
they say is an option in their system.

The price is actually lower than I expected and I suppose doable for
a ~30m steel ship that needs to be repowered anyway. Remains to
be seen if the figures they give hold up in reality though. Plus,
I don't suppose the price includes installation.
