The second domestically-built large cruise ship by China State Shipbuilding Corporation, the "Adora Hua Cheng," successfully completed the dock flooding and floated out on Saturday (14th).
After completing the flooding and float-out, the cruise ship "Adora Hua Cheng" was moved sideways to the front dock chamber to undergo an inclining experiment. The inclining experiment is a core technical step before a cruise ship leaves the dock, which measures the ship’s weight and center of gravity—both critical to the vessel’s stability, safety, and passenger comfort.
According to reports, this dock operation will last for seven days. Subsequently, lifeboat release tests and in-dock cruising will be carried out to verify the performance of all 18 large lifeboats and 2 rescue boats under normal and emergency conditions. The ship is scheduled to officially leave the dock on March 20, after which it will fully transition into system commissioning and interior completion phases. Sea trials are planned to commence at the end of May, with delivery before the end of the year.
