China's groundbreaking cruise ship, Adora Magic City (CruiseMapper), the world's first domestically made large cruise vessel with 5G capabilities, started its maiden sea trial on Monday, according to Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. under the China State Shipbuilding Corp.
After being undocked in Shanghai in June, the ship completed a series of tests including anchor and blackout tests, earning high recognition from both the ship owner and inspection authorities.
The tests involve the operation of all ship equipment, particularly the rapid recovery function of the main propulsion system, which ensures the safety of the ship during navigation
Adora Magic City weighs 135,500 tons and has 2,826 guest rooms, accommodating up to 6,500 people. It is set to be delivered by end-2023 after two sea trials.
