Lloyd’s Register (LR), a global leader in classification services for cruise ships, has entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with China Cruises. Building on its experience with China’s first large domestically built luxury cruise ship, Adora Magic City, LR aims to support China’s cruise industry through technical expertise, sustainability focus, and enhanced safety standards.
Global Leadership Meets Local Expertise
With over 40% market share in large cruise ship classification globally, LR brings nearly two decades of industry leadership. Its four Cruise Centres of Expertise across China, the UK, Italy, and the US, alongside 220+ cruise surveyors worldwide, provide comprehensive support during all ship phases—from design to operation.
Supporting China’s Ambitions in Cruise Shipbuilding
LR’s partnership will leverage its international experience to help China independently develop and construct high-end cruise vessels. The collaboration aims to strengthen China’s cruise supply chain integration and accelerate its move towards sustainable, premium cruise offerings on the global stage.
Commitment to Safety, Sustainability, and Innovation
China Cruises and LR will collaborate closely to enhance technical capabilities, improve operational standards, and promote innovation in cruise safety and environmental sustainability. This alliance underscores a shared commitment to advancing the cruise sector’s future responsibly and competitively.
The strategic partnership between Lloyd’s Register and China Cruises represents a significant step toward elevating China’s cruise industry. By combining global expertise with local ambitions, the collaboration promises to drive growth, safety, and sustainability in cruise shipbuilding and operations.
