According to Anave, Neoline has planned to offer its ships to other shippers in addition to Renault since 2020

The French car company Renault has recently announced its association for the next three years with the start-up Neoline, also French, for the project and construction of two mainly sailing-driven ro-ro ships that will cover the transatlantic route between Nantes- St. Nazaire and the east coast of the US and Canada.

These vessels, 136 m long and 24 m manga, will have a capacity of 1,700 linear meters of load or 478 cars and a service speed of about 11 knots, driven by candles with a total surface area of 4,200 m2. They shall also have an electric diesel propulsion auxiliary engine of 4,200 kW power to control the transit times. According to Renault, these vessels will reduce their CO2 emissions by 90% from a similar conventional vessel.

Renault and Neoline are not the first to develop wind systems for the propulsion of ships in the twenty-first century, although most of the projects under way choose a Flettner rotor system and not as a main propulsion, but in support of the main engines of their ships and thus reduce emissions. Last September the Maersk Pelican, the world's largest ship recently equipped with this wind propulsion system, came into service. Other examples are the E-Ship1, roro dedicated to the transport of wind generators (2010), which uses 4 rotors; the Estraden, a roro that operates a regular line between Belgium and the United Kingdom (2017), with two rotors and the Viking Grace, a cruise ferry that covers the line between the ports of Stockholm (Sweden) and Turku (Finland) and also uses LNG as fuel, which installed a single rotor in April 2018.
