Update?[edit]

the main propulsion is two motors on a single shaft to the propellors. There are two engine rooms, two gensets each, and there's much redundancy. All major systems are redundant, one set to keep the boat going, one set for the cadets. 2607:FB91:E27:1209:6AFD:724C:FC9F:8917 (talk) 16:09, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Single propellor.

There's a conventional stern thruster, and a retractable bow thruster, azipod, that can be used for auxiliary propulsion. No dynamic positioning capability, but unassisted docking. 2607:FB91:E27:1209:6AFD:724C:FC9F:8917 (talk) 16:11, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
