Hold onto your life jackets! China’s second domestically built mega cruise ship is sailing toward completion, with 80% of its structural sections now assembled. The floating giant, a symbol of China’s growing prowess in shipbuilding, has spent over three months in the dock since April, where workers have welded 28 sections and installed cutting-edge navigation systems. 🛠️
This isn’t just a bigger boat—it’s a full upgrade. With a 141,900-tonne gross tonnage (up 6,400 tonnes!) and stretching 341 meters (17 meters longer than its sibling), the ship packs in 2,144 cabins—19 more than its predecessor. Imagine the Instagram-worthy pool decks and sunset views! 🌅
But here’s the kicker: sustainability takes center stage. The vessel features five advanced environmental systems, including dual desulfurization units to slash emissions. Think green travel meets luxury. 🌱
State media reports highlight rapid progress, with welding and equipment installations accelerating. Could this be the future of global maritime travel? ⚓ Let’s just say the world’s oceans are getting a stylish new resident.
