(ECNS) -- China's two large domestically built cruise ships, Adora Magic City and Adora Flora City, were berthed together for the first time at Shanghai's Wusongkou International Cruise Terminal on Sunday. Local immigration authorities handled clearance for the vessels and their passengers.
Adora Flora City, the second large cruise ship built in China, was delivered on Friday and arrived at the terminal on Saturday. The 341-meter-long vessel has a gross tonnage of 141,900.
Adora Flora City was scheduled to depart Shanghai on Sunday with nearly 3,000 passengers aboard for its first trial voyage since delivery. It is expected to arrive at Guangzhou's Nansha International Cruise Homeport on Wednesday.
Shanghai immigration authorities worked with the shipbuilder to provide tailored inspection and clearance services, covering crew and passenger movements, vessel inspections and other requirements.
Adora Magic City returned to the terminal on Sunday at the end of a voyage, carrying more than 4,600 passengers. After passengers disembarked and the necessary procedures were complete, it was due to depart for South Korea's Jeju Island with more than 3,800 passengers.
