Titanic Il will Be Built In Europe

(Turn away now, if you don’t believe or approve of Titanic II)

Right from the very outset of the Titanic II project, in 2012, billionaire Clive Palmer stated that his vessel, a replica of the original 1912 RMS Titanic, would be built in China’s Jinling shipyard.

Jinling was a brave choice by Palmer, as Jinling are not know for generally building luxury cruise ship. Jinling specialises in Ferries, Cargo ships and even Submarines. They have also build smaller passenger boats for the Yangtze river too.

However, ‘Deltamarin’, the Titanic II designers, have now advised Palmer against using China.

It is expected tenders will go out this year. Building will commence in 2025 and Titanic II will be delivered in 2027.

Titanic II: to enter service in 2027

(Mr. Palmer, March 2024)

On the 13th March, 2024, billionaire Clive Palmer held a press Conference at the Sydney Opera House, Australia. He announced that his replica Titanic project, called Titanic II is BACK ON!

This is the first real news about the project, for several years.

I am sure that most of you are still very sceptical about this news and others willingness  think that it is simply a very distasteful idea, anyway. Nevertheless, Palmer says it is happening.

Titanic II Blog

So strong is my obsession with the Titanic II project, that  I launched a dedicated Titanic II News blog, back in 2018.

Titanic II News gets surprisingly high viewing figures, considering that it is about a ship that is yet to exit (and some still say will never exist). It sometime out-performs this ‘WaterWorld’ blog, attracting more daily viewers. I guess that it is a ‘niche’ that no other fool writes about.
