VESSEL REVIEW | Rotra Futura – Wind turbine transport Ro-Ro enters service with Netherlands' Amasus Shipping

The aerodynamic and hydro-optimised design of the hull, combined with a special low-resistance coating, helps reduce fuel consumption, though the main engine already boasts a 15 per cent lower fuel consumption level when compared to current standards.

Development of Rotra Futura and sister vessel Rotra Horizon, which will be delivered later this year, was done in collaboration with Siemens Gamesa, Deugro, and Dutch naval architecture firm DEKC Maritime. Construction of the vessels took place at Jiangsu Zhenjiang Shipyard in China.
