Australian billionaire Clive Palmer to build Titanic II
"It will be every bit as luxurious as the original Titanic but of course it will have state-of-the-art 21st Century technology and the latest navigation and safety systems. Of course it will sink if you put a hole in it. It is going to be designed so it won't sink,'' he added. ''But, of course, if you are superstitious like you are, you never know what could happen.

17 July 2012
Professor Clive Palmer today released preliminary plans and drawings for the Titanic II project devised by international ship design and engineering company, Finnish-based Deltamarin.

The Titanic II Preliminary General Arrangement Plan and Preliminary Midship Section Drawing depicts nine decks complete with first, second and third class, officer and crew accommodation as well as the insertion of a new ‘Safety Deck’.

Professor Palmer said the plans from Deltamarin for his shipping company Blue Star Line represent a significant milestone for the Titanic II project.

“These plans underline the commitment and progression Blue Star Line has for the Titanic II project,” Professor Palmer said.

He said from deck D upwards Deltamarin have managed to keep the public rooms, passenger stairs, cabins and other features in similar locations as in the original ship.

“The Preliminary General Arrangement plans depict the original separation between first, second and third class, which will be kept in the ship’s final design,” Professor Palmer said.

“To ensure Titanic II is compliant with all current safety and construction regulations, a new ‘Safety Deck’ has been inserted between D and C decks and will feature proper lifeboats, safety chutes or slides as well as new common public rooms.

“New escape stairs, service elevators, air conditioning room and similar functions have also been added and the inclusions of main fire zones have been designed so that they have minimum disturbance on public rooms.

“G deck has also been re-designed to now feature crew accommodation, laundry, stores and machinery.”

The final design is subject to approval of the board of Blue Star Lines.

He reaffirmed the first voyage remains set for late 2016, with the intention for Titanic II to sail from China to England before her maiden passenger voyage retracing its original journey.

“Blue Star Line’s website continues to receive an overwhelming response from people expressing an interest in receiving regular updates from us or requesting information on how to secure bookings for Titanic II’s maiden voyage,” Professor Palmer said.

On April 30, 2012, Professor Palmer announced to the world his intention to build and launch Titanic II in conjunction with leading Chinese shipbuilders, CSC Jinling Shipyard.

The announcement came 100 years after the original vessel last sailed.

The work carried out by Deltamarin, one of the world’s leading ship design and marine engineering companies, will enable China’s CSC Jinling Shipyard to begin construction of the passenger liner.

Them crazy Australians.

It's ironic how he says that the ship will be laid down next year in December and be ready in 2016. Cruise ships of today like Queen Elizabeth 3 were build in 1½ year. It was even two times larger as Titanic.

Poll makes no sense. It's going to be a tangible object, if you don't believe it exists then you have head problems

IT'S SO MUCH LIKE THE ORIGINAL, THE CAPTAIN PURPOSELY DRIVES INTO AN ICEBERG!

I just hope the swimming pool isnt only for first class like the original.

Seems disrespectful as hell considering the primary reason they are doing it is undoubtedly the news buzz...

it would be hilariously ironic if this thing hit an ice burg and sunk as well.

it's going to sink

quick, antares, make a titanic II model in bl- oh wait, v21

wish i could buy a ticket lol

And it's not even Americans doing it >:((
