(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.
