China’s first home-grown large cruise liner, regarded as a breakthrough in the nation’s shipbuilding and high-end manufacturing, left its dock in Shanghai on Tuesday after nearly four years of construction to start sea trials.
Adora Magic City, a 135,500-tonne liner built by Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding – a subsidiary of the state-owned China State Shipbuilding Corporation – represents a significant technological advancement for China, being the last type of high-end ship that the country had yet to produce.
