China's second domestically built large cruise ship, the Adora Flora City, returned to port in Shanghai on Wednesday after completing a 12-day maiden sea trial, marking another milestone in the country's push to mass-produce large cruise ships.

A team of 937 professionals from 12 countries completed 149 tests and verification tasks during the trial, assessing the ship's maneuverability, automation systems, safety and comfort, and emissions performance, according to the shipbuilder, China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC).

The vessel completed all required trial items in a single voyage, compared with two sea trials for China's first domestically built large cruise ship, the Adora Magic City, marking a further step forward in China's capabilities in large-cruise-ship building.

Chen Gang, chief commander of the sea trial, said the trial had proceeded smoothly and laid a solid foundation for the ship to be delivered on schedule. The successful trial was supported by a professional, international engineering management team, as well as systematic improvements in supply chain management and project organization, Chen noted.

The ship is scheduled for delivery on November 6 and will operate international routes from the Nansha International Cruise Home Port in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province.
