This cannot be, since no 9000 HP engine has yet been built.

MTU make engines upto 12,203hp for yachts. Need to check out their site.
I'm guessing that Dubai has either 20V 1163 TB73L which are rated at 8716hp or 20V 1163 TB 93 which are rated at 9923hp. (Carinthia 7 has 4 of the latter engines as well)
