Australian billionaire Clive Palmer has recently signed an initial agreement with China』s CSC Jinling Shipyard to build a modern version of the Titanic that sank off Newfoundland 100 years ago.

He wants to sail Titanic II from England to New York by 2016, accompanied by the Chinese navy as its maiden voyage.

The vessel will be part of a planned fleet of luxury cruiseships to be built at CSC Jinling in Nanjing, he said, and the plans would help China become a major player in the cruiseship market.

The 58-year-old mining, property and football tycoon added: 「It will be every bit as luxurious as the original Titanic, but of course it will have state-of-the-art twenty-first century technology and the latest navigation and safety systems.」

For the venture, Palmer has set up Blue Star Line as a wholly-owned subsidiary of his Mineralogy company.

CSC Jinling Shipyard is a major state-owned shipbuilding enterprise which was founded in 1952.
