In October late last year, a pact was formed by China State Shipbuilding Corporation, or CSSC, sovereign wealth fund, China Investment Corporation, and Carnival corporation to order five cruise ships from Shanghai Waigaoqiao. Fast forward to July 4, CSSC launched a joint venture with top Italian shipyard Fincantieri for China’s first domestically made cruise ship. This agreement states that the Chinese shipbuilder will own 60 percent of the joint venture through its subsidiary based in Hong Kong with Fincanterieri owning the rest.
去年10月，中國船舶工業集團公司聯合主權財富基金，中國投資有限公司以及嘉年華集團達成合作協議，交由上海外高橋造船有限公司建造五艘游輪。來到今年的7月4日，中國船舶工業與意大利頂級造船廠芬坎蒂尼達成合資協議，將為中國建造首艘本土游輪。據協議上指出，雙方將在中國香港合資設立建造公司，中國船舶工業控股60%，芬坎蒂尼持股剩余部分。
Each vessel will cost 5 billion yuan, have a capacity of about 5,000 people, and be produced at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Company, a shipyard owned by CSSC. A Shanghai Waigaoqiao employee says that shipbuilding will start next year and will be handed over to the joint venture in 2021.
每艘游輪造價50億元，搭載能力約為5000人，并交由中國船舶工業旗下公司上海外高橋建造。據上海外高橋員工表示，建造任務將在明年起實施，2021年交付合資公司。
The Chinese government had declared its desire to make technological breakthroughs in manufacturing cruise ships. In a document called Made in China 2025 that was published in May 2015, the State Council urged the shipbuilding industry to achieve the goal in the next 10 years.
在建造游輪方面，中國政府希望實現技術突破。2015年5月，政府印發《中國制造2025》文件，國務院敦促造船產業在未來十年實現這一目標。
Currently, domestic shipbuilders are seeing troubles from the economic downturns, but luckily, there is a beacon of hope. A CSSC employee says that the prospects for the cruise industry are hopeful as this cruise ship manufacturing business develops domestically and continues China’s goal to become one of the world’s leading cruise builders in upcoming years.
由于經濟放緩，國內造船廠捉襟見肘，但卻看到了曙光。據中國船舶工業集團員工表示，隨著游輪建造在國內發展起來，郵輪產業也迎來契機，在未來幾年，中國將繼續朝著全球主要游輪建造國目標邁進。
Even though China’s market is in its infancy, several cruise shipbuilders and operators are eager to sail in a new market. According to Shanghai International Cruise Economic Research Center, 4.5 million Chinese people are estimated to take cruises in 2020.
盡管中國郵輪市場還處在初期，多家郵輪建造廠和運營商希望涉足新市場。據上海國際游輪經濟研究中心表示，預計到2020年將有4500萬人乘坐游輪。
