I'd venture to guess this was taken somewhere in Korea. Most large scale container ships are made over there these days. i.e. Hyundai.

Do not know the origin, a friend sent them to me. Its a ship engine for sure, and like the comments were, likely out of Korea.

Check these out!
The Wartsila NSD (Sulzer) RTA96-C two-stroke diesel engine is the most
powerful and most efficient piston prime-mover in the world today. Bore
- just under 3'2" (965mm). Stroke - just over 8'2" (2489mm).
Available in 6 through 12 cylinder versions (all inline). Engine weight
exceeds 2000 tons in the 12 cylinder version (the crankshaft alone exceeds
300 tons).
Point of maximum continuous power is 89,640 HP (66,844kW) at 100RPM
with the 12 cylinder version. Point of maximum fuel economy is 53,244 HP
(37,704kW) at 90 RPM. The 12-cylinder engine exceeded 100,000 horsepower
during overspeed testing (all of 101.5 RPM!) while under test at Japan's
Diesel Union works (who built the first engines and from who these
pictures are taken).
Fuel consumption at maximum power is 0.278 lbs/HP/hour (BSFC). Fuel
consumption at maximum economy is 0.260 lbs/HP/hour.
At maximum economy the Sulzer engine exceeds 50% thermal efficiency i.e.
more than 50% of the fuel going into the engine is converted to power).
For comparison, consider that automotive and small aircraft spark-ignition
engines have British Standard Fuel Consumption figures in the 0.40-0.60
lbs/HP/hour range and 25-30% thermal efficiency.
Even at its most efficient power setting, the Sulzer 12 cylinder
consumes nearly 1,660 gallons of heavy fuel oil an hour.
None of these parts are going on a keychain!
