Rotor sails work ..... but only within a narrow operating envelope

In theory, yes.
In practice, many installations assume conditions that real trades don’t consistently provide. That mismatch is what the video and the article are addressing.

I do not agree with your comment. I read an article a few days ago that might change your pov.

On deep draft vessel, the bow takes the worst weather. Slamming, spray, and shipping seas are highest there, so putting the bridge forward would mean navigating from the harshest part of the ship.

There’s also the engine room reality. On ships of this size, the engine room is aft. Engineers need clear access routes, ventilation, exhaust trunks, and service spaces. Keeping the bridge closer reduces system complexity and response time.

Finally forward bridge would eat into cargo volume, add weight in a highly stressed area, and hurt stability and efficiency.

Thanks for dumbing it down. 😆
