the gross tonnage of replica 56,000 gt, considerably more of original.

comparison original rms titanic

the ship designed similar in internal , external appearance titanic possible. however, today s safety regulations , economic considerations dictated several major changes design, including:

greater beam enhanced stability
welded, not riveted, hull
reduced draught (draft)
bulbous bow higher fuel efficiency, although moderately sized compared ships of newer designs


a preliminary comparison of profiles of titanic (blue) , titanic ii (red).



stabilizers reduce roll
diesel-electric propulsion system 4 diesel generating sets providing power 3 azimuth thrusters replace original coal-fired boilers, steam engines , steam turbine, rudder. also, ship have had 2 bow thrusters.
an additional safety deck between c , d decks lifeboats , marine evacuation systems, boat deck housing replicas of original lifeboats. space deck made lowering decks d , below 2.8 metres, , taller centre section of safety deck, have housed lifeboats, raising superstructure 1.3 metres. in spite of reduced draft, space made lowered decks removing orlop deck, housed boilers.
new escape staircases in addition original staircases, housed in redundant boiler exhaust uptakes.
observation decks in redundant first 2 funnels, have had, according deltamarin, tinted window coverings blend in funnels color, intended close possible original white star buff.
no sheer or camber, unlike original. pronounced sheer cosmetic feature of ocean liners, intended add graceful appearance ship, made construction more difficult , therefore costly. renderings released in february 2013 showed upwards rake added c deck @ bow , stern give superficial appearance of sheer, although inauthentic wedge-shaped gap has had added between c , d decks in these areas produce effect.
a higher bridge relative bow, superstructure has been raised 1.3 metres centre section of safety deck, , removal of sheer. negates requirement on original titanic lookouts.
an overall increase in height of ship above waterline (due insertion of safety deck). however, total height of ship keel funnels same original, @ 175 ft.
video of water tank testing in 2013 indicates stern lines of titanic ii bear little resemblance titanic s 1912 era counter stern.

power plant , propulsion

for economic reasons, steam engines , coal-fired boilers of original titanic replaced modern diesel-electric propulsion system. space housed boilers have been used crew quarters , ships systems. power produced 4 wärtsilä 46f medium-speed four-stroke diesel generating sets; 2 twelve-cylinder 12v46f engines producing 14,400 kilowatts (19,300 hp) each, , 2 eight-cylinder 8l46f engines producing 9,600 kilowatts (12,900 hp) each, running on heavy fuel oil , marine gas oil. propulsion have been 3 azimuth thrusters used maneuvering, while replica of rudder of titanic ii purely cosmetic, , not have extended substantially below waterline. positioning of azimuth thrusters necessitated stern being made substantially more blunt original.

interior

the interior of ship intended similar possible original. tillberg design of sweden contracted produce drawings replicating titanic s original interiors. however, original wooden panelling not conform modern fire regulations, in queen mary 2, veneers have had used. plans showed layout broadly similar original, third-class cabins modernised, , consideration being given en-suite cabins throughout ship. room freed eliminating steam boilers of original ship have been used crew quarters , various services.
