Today (6th), the second domestically produced large cruise ship "Aida Huacheng" was officially delivered in Shanghai, marking the completion of a key leap in domestically produced large cruise ships from single-ship breakthrough to serial construction.

Large cruise ships, aircraft carriers and liquefied natural gas carriers are known as the three crown jewels of the shipbuilding industry and are an important yardstick for measuring a country's comprehensive industrial manufacturing capabilities. The second domestically produced large-scale cruise ship "Aida Huacheng" is 341 meters long, which is larger than three standard football fields put together. The total number of rooms is 2,130, which can accommodate more than 5,200 passengers, which is equivalent to the size of six small and medium-sized five-star hotels on land.

What hard-core technologies are hidden in such a maritime giant? Let's find the answer from a set of data.

my country's second domestically produced large-scale cruise ship "Aida Huacheng" was officially delivered and will soon set sail from Nansha, Guangzhou. It is fully upgraded on the basis of the first domestically produced large cruise ship "Aida·Modu", with longer size, larger space and an experience that is more in line with Chinese people's habits. A set of intuitive and hard-core data will help you understand the true strength of this "Flower City on the Sea".

The total length is 341 meters, which is 17.4 meters longer than Aida Magic City. The hull is slender and the sailing is smoother. You can't see the stern from the bow.

The hull width is 37.2 meters, which is more than the lateral width of a 12-story ordinary house. The wide hull greatly improves the stability of the ship. It is more resistant to bumps and wind waves when sailing at sea. Even if it encounters larger waves, it still feels smooth and comfortable.

The total tonnage is 141,900 tons. Compared with the "Aida·Modu", it has an additional displacement of 6,400 tons, which is equivalent to carrying one more medium-sized ocean-going cargo ship. The super-large tonnage of 141,900 tons is 14 times that of an ordinary 10,000-ton ship. It is a true "Big Mac" on the sea.

The entire ship is divided vertically into 16 levels of tourist activity areas, with each layer performing its own duties, covering everything from accommodation, catering, entertainment to sports, shopping, and parent-child activities.

The total number of rooms is 2,130, and the six decks of the ship have dedicated guest room areas. The 8th deck alone has nearly 330 rooms. The single-layer volume is comparable to a small five-star hotel. The total number of guest rooms on the ship is equivalent to the total number of guest rooms in six small and medium-sized five-star hotels.

The maximum passenger capacity is 5,232 guests, which is equivalent to the permanent population of a medium-sized community.

All guest rooms on the ship have been professionally tested for noise reduction and shock absorption. Under the ship's maximum sailing conditions, indoor noise is strictly controlled within 45 decibels, which is equivalent to a quiet study environment.

In addition, the ship also has 28 restaurants and bars, a large theater with 800 people, a 200-meter circular sea runway, etc.

From a 100-meter-long ship with thousands of guest rooms to comprehensive facilities and the ultimate experience, the "Aida Huacheng" is not only a large-scale domestic cruise ship, but also a core business card of China's shipbuilding capabilities.

From "collective delisting" to "intensive return", large-value certificates of deposit are back

Major state-owned banks, joint-stock banks, urban and rural commercial banks, and foreign-funded banks have collectively restarted the issuance of large-denomination certificates of deposit, with interest rates as high as 1.92%. Mid- to long-term product quotas are tight, and many bank apps show that they are sold out. Experts believe that multiple factors such as repricing of high-cost funds, imbalance of asset-liability structure, opening up of price space and improvement of management systems have promoted the return of large-denomination certificates of deposit.
