Categories: Asia | Travel | Water |

Blue Star Line, which is owned by Australian businessman and politician Clive Palmer, is building the Titanic II, a replica of the ship that tragically sank in 1912 and killed more than 1,500 people. The new ship will be built in China and will sail in 2018 from China's CSC Jinling Shipyard in Dubai. "Titanic II" will be 4 meters wider than its predecessor, but the length, height and weight will remain the same. In addition, the ship will meet all modern safety requirements, the interior will be made of modern materials.

2435 passengers and 900 crew members will be located in 840 cabins of three classes. Although the final cost of construction is unknown, it is estimated that it will be between 300 and 400 million pounds. By the way, the Blue Star Line company said that there will be enough lifeboats on the new liner for everyone.
