Blue Star Line chairman Clive Palmer announced today that leading international marine classification society, Lloyd’s Register, had committed to the Titanic II project.
“We are very pleased to announce that Lloyd’s Register will once again be working on Titanic II, joining a strong global team bringing the magnificent replica ship to life”.“Blue Star Line looks forward to working closely with them in making this project a reality,’’ Mr Palmer said.
Offering more than 250 years’ experience with passenger ships, Lloyd’s Register will be responsible for reviewing drawings, calculation and studies for Titanic II to ensure compliance with modern standards.
Works will include meeting Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) conventions for structure, stability and safety.
Francesco Ruisi, Lloyd’s Register North Asia Passenger Ship (PSSC) Manager said: Lloyd’s Register is pleased to have further involvement with this project.
“Blue Star Line has selected Lloyd’s Register as one of the partners for this project, we will support Blue Start Line and other stakeholders to ensure Titanic II will be designed and built in compliance with all applicable statutory and classification regulations,’’ Mr Ruisi said.
Blue Star Line will create an authentic Titanic experience, providing passengers with a ship that has the same interiors and cabin layout as the original vessel, while integrating modern safety procedures, navigation methods and 21st century technology to produce the highest level of luxurious comfort.
(Blue Star Line)Malcolm says: Palmer continues to re-assembling his various contractors who were involved in the project first time around. I hope that he means ‘business’ this time!

I seriously hope that they’re not planing on recreating the third class communal dormitories, along with the lack of bathing and toilette facilities. I doubt many would wish to travel that way. I love the idea of the overal look of the Titanic being reproduced, particularly the public rooms, but I would think that the cabins should be more along the lines in size and layout of modern cabins, but decorated in the Edwardian style.
Hi Fredrick, you are VERY right. Nobody today would book a cramp cabin with multiple bunk beds and no toilet/shower. I believe Titanic’s original ‘steerage’ sections only had a few toilets and a couple of baths for 700 3rd class passengers.
I did hear that cabin mock-up were created before the Titanic II project stalled. I did here that the steerage cabins were like ‘regular’ modern-ship inside cabins – but there’s no confirmation of this.
