the efficiency of the wankel engines is 38 % as compared to the inline or v line engines which holds only 21%....
I don't know where that guy got that information from, but it's pretty wrong if he's talking about fuel efficiency. Wankel engines are quite poor in efficiency, but when compared to inline engines that offer the same performance (powerful V8s) they will have similar fuel efficiencies.

Actually, it is used in ships. The advantage to using a rotary engine like the Wankel engine in marine applications is its high RPM, and low maintenance (compared to the average internal combustion engine). However, so far, current marine uses for the Wankel engine have been limited to racing and consumer applications due to its singularly high performance and its tendency to guzzle gas. These traits currently inhibit it from the commercial ship market.
