Re: Time used at sea.
I would not be in any rush to start producing any beers or lagers for Titanic 2 just yet.
At the current rate of progress it will not be built by the time the 200th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic comes round.
When the project was first announced in 2012, Palmer claimed that construction would begin before the end of the year, with a 2016 launch. The following year, reports emerged that Clive Palmer was experiencing financial difficulties.[57][58] The start of construction was postponed to March 2014,[59] then to late 2014.[60] When construction had still not begun in 2015 a spokesman for Palmer said the project had merely been delayed, and that the new ship would be launched in 2018—two years later than initially planned.[61] However, Deltamarin had told an Australian Broadcasting Corporation journalist that work on the Titanic II project had been halted,[62] while workers at the Chinese shipyard identified as the likely site of construction were highly skeptical that the project would ever move beyond the proposal stage[63] and that the Blue Star Line trademark was "abandoned."[64]
On 27 September 2018, the Blue Star Line, in a press release on their official web site, announced that work on the project would recommence.[65] Deltamarin confirmed that work had resumed and that the project had advanced to having a conceptual design ready for shipyard pricing. As of March 2021, Blue Star Line had made no updates to its website in two years, and Deltamarin was referring all questions about the project back to Blue Star.[66]

Re: Time used at sea.
Lewis, our dear ex politician, Clive Palmer, who wants to build a new Titanic in China is in more strife then Flash Gordon just now.
So my advice on the launch.
Just do not hold your breath.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
