Hi Emmanuel,
she is the only one. And I think, you can correct me, the first vessel with flettner rotors in the world.
best regards
Marcus

person

Is she a one-off? has there been others built as sister ships or even other types using the same propulsion principle?
regards

To fill a gap in my knowledge I googled and found the following. I hope it helps others as much as it helped me!

"The E-Ship 1 is a Flettner ship: four large rotorsails that rise from its deck are rotated via a mechanical linkage to the ship's propellers. The sails, or Flettner rotors, aid the ship's propulsion by means of the Magnus effect – the perpendicular force that is exerted on a spinning body moving through a fluid stream."

person

I will keep fingers crossed for you, Denis. I have never seen the unique vessel before, too.

person

How much I wish to see this ship by myself...
