The vessel has currently completed 20 percent of its total construction workload, with its design, construction, procurement and logistics well underway.

Garnering ample experience from building the first China-made cruise ship Adora Magic City, CSSC has optimized the construction of a second large cruise ship and enhanced the efficiency by 20 percent, said Chen Jianwei, assistant to the general manager of China State Shipbuilding Corporation's (CSSC) Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co Ltd.

The efficiency improvement will come along with design optimization, including supply chain development and management, as well as process innovation, according to Chen.
