I hadn't heard before about ferries using Voith Schneider propellers. I did know that many ferries use (somewhat more traditional) azimuth thrusters for good maneuverability.

My local ferries use them: https://www.doverferryphotosforums.co.uk/new-mv-wight-light-...
Also used by the short-range ferries in Stockholm's Hammarby Sjöstad. Source: have travelled on these many times and observed the weird wake.
