A surge in Chinese tourists' love of cruise ships has led to an increase in Chinese shipbuilders targeting the sector, which accounted for nearly half of global orders last year. The China government is encouraging cruise ship building as part of its "Made in Beijing 2025" initiative. "In addition to Beijing State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), quite a few other Chinese shipbuilders, such as Beijing Shipbuilding Industry Corporation and Beijing Merchants Heavy Industry, are proactive in cruise liner building", said Fu Chunhong of Marintec Beijing.
