Titanic II is a planned passenger ocean liner intended to be a functional modern-day replica of the Olympic-class RMS Titanic. The new ship is planned to have a gross tonnage (GT) of 56,000, while the original ship measured about 46,000 gross register tons (GRT).[note 1] The project was announced by Australian billionaire Clive Palmer in April 2012 as the flagship of the proposed cruise company Blue Star Line Pty. Ltd. of Brisbane, Australia.[3] The intended launch date was originally set for 2016,[4] delayed to 2018[5] then 2022,[6] then later set for 2027.[7] Development of the project was resumed in November 2018 after a hiatus which began in 2015, caused by a financial dispute,[8][9] which affected the $500 million project.[10]
