Ships engine parts (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liners

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'ships' is the first definition.
(liner is a kind of ship)

'engine parts' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for liners that I've seen before include "Large commercial ships" , "These go inside" , "cruise ships" , "craft?" , "Large ocean-going ships" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
