Report: Beijing Gives Approval for CSSC-CSIC Merger By Maritime Executive Posted on March 30, 2018 The Chinese shipyard CMIH celebrates its first sheet metal cut of the first polar expedition cruiser it is building, in a series of six. It is the principle of “made in China” cruises. On March 16, the China Merchants Industry Holding Ltd. (CMIH) shipyard celebrated the sheet cutting of its first polar expedition cruise and signed the construction contract for the second ship at Haimen shipyard, based in Jiangsu. The first vessel belongs to a series of expedition cruises that will be built at CMIH, which is leading the construction of cruises in China. The SunStone shipping company is in this case the ship-owner who has hired the Chinese shipyard for the construction of this series of 4 + 6 polar expedition cruisers. CMHI signed an agreement with the Norwegian Ulstein Design & Solutions, which will be responsible for the design of the vessel and equipment, and will supervise the construction of the series. He also entered into agreements with the Finnish Mäkinen, specialized in cruise interiors, who will be responsible for all the work of interior spaces in the shipyard.

Sea Travel Industry of Today
37 Sea travel industry of today “Home is where you drop your anchor” - Unknown 38 3. SEA TRAVEL INDUSTRY OF TODAY 39 03-01 The development of air travel allowed for further and faster domestic and international travel. This meant a decrease in rail and sea travel, which became predominantly cargo, whilst the reintroduction of sea travel was a means of leisure as opposed to a means of travel from one destination to another. Air travel replaced the meaning of sea travel from what it was originally, therefore different considerations apply when comparing air and sea travel. MSC cruises has experienced unprecedented growth the last few years and is currently one of the leading cruise companies in the Mediterranean, Brazil and South Africa. The ultra modern fleet consists of 11 vessels that are expected to carry over 1.6 million travelers and employ 15500 staff. The company was born in the Mediterranean and draws inspiration from the Mediterranean way of life which it creates for travelers all over the world (Cruise Lines International Association, 2014). 3..1. south African vessels 40 Msc opera reception foyer MSC Cruises have four identical Lirica Class vessels, two of which are used in South 03-04 Africa during cruise seasons. These include the MSC Sinfonia and the MSC Opera, which accommodate 2069 passengers and 700 staff each (Msccruises.co.za, 2014). The South African cruise season commences in October of each year and operates until April of the following year. The two vessels travel between South Africa, Namibia, Mozambique, Madagascar and Mauritius. Cruise ships are only berthed at the port of Durban on Mondays and Fridays, therefore this will be considered in order for the new terminal to be feasible for the months or days when the building is not active.
