Today, we are going to discuss a major achievement of China's shipbuilding industry - the second self-developed large cruise ship has entered the critical final assembly stage at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipyard. This milestone not only marks a leap forward in the mainland's cruise manufacturing capacity, but also heralds China's growing competitiveness in the global sea travel market.
In the global cruise manufacturing industry, there are not many countries with advanced manufacturing capabilities. China is proving to the world the strength of its high-end manufacturing industry by independently developing and building large cruise ships. The launch of this new cruise ship represents the transformation of domestic shipbuilding from following to leading, which is an achievement worthy of pride of the Chinese people.
Compared with the first domestically produced large cruise ship, this new cruise ship has increased in tonnage and size, which shows its ambition. Its total length reached 341 meters, the tonnage increased to 141,900 tons, and the total number of guest rooms also increased to 2,144. These increases not only mean more passenger capacity, but also bode well for more activities and services on board.
In addition, the ship has also undergone a major upgrade in environmental protection technology, with the addition of a desulphurization system and other environmental protection equipment, making it a model of green navigation. In addition to 16 floors of integrated recreational facilities, including a large performing arts center and multi-purpose dining area, the ship also has specially expanded public areas and outdoor event spaces to ensure that every passenger can enjoy a spacious and comfortable travel experience.
With the ship expected to be delivered by the end of 2026, we can expect it to be an important link connecting beautiful seas around the world, providing an unparalleled sea travel experience for global travelers. This is not only a big test of China's shipbuilding technology, but also a comprehensive demonstration of the competitiveness of the international market.
In the context of the gradual recovery of the global cruise market, this new cruise ship made in China will undoubtedly become a new choice for domestic and foreign travel enthusiasts. Its successful launch is not only a victory of technology and craftsmanship, but also a symbol of China's rising status in the global high-end manufacturing field.
