<P> The idea of a commercialised replica of the Titanic has itself been criticised, being described as "insensitive" and "a mockery of the memory of those who died". Cunard Line, which merged with the White Star Line, stated that they "have always been very mindful and very respectful of such a tragic event (and) don't think that building a replica or a' II' is appropriate ." </P> <P> Palmer's alleged use of funds drawn from Queensland Nickel for the Titanic II project was criticised by the administrators appointed for that company after it closed . In their April 2016 report, the administrators stated that payments from Queensland Nickel to Blue Star Line had been "uncommercial and director - related transactions". Palmer has rejected the claims made against him in the report, including those related to the Titanic II . </P> <P> When the project was first announced in 2012, Palmer claimed that construction would begin before the end of the year, with a 2016 launch . The following year reports emerged that Clive Palmer was experiencing financial difficulties . The start of construction was postponed to March 2014, then to late 2014 . When construction had still not begun in 2015 a spokesman for Palmer said the project had merely been delayed, and that the new ship would be launched in 2018 - two years later than initially planned . However Deltamarin had told an Australian Broadcasting Corporation journalist that work on the Titanic II project had been halted while workers at the Chinese shipyard identified as the likely site of construction were highly skeptical that the project would ever move beyond the proposal stage and the Blue Star Line trademark was "abandoned ." Queensland Nickel went bankrupt and Palmer faced freezing of personal assets to recoup money owed the company's employees and creditors . When he declined to stand for re-election to his House of Representatives seat he stated that he might resume work on the project in his retirement . Blue Star Line made no updates to their official web site after May 2014 . In May 2018 a European maritime equipment consortium published a list of all cruise ships on order through 2027 but none of the listed vessels fit Deltamarin's specificatons for Titanic II . </P> <P> Clive Palmer's project should not be confused with a Chinese Titanic replica ship which had its keel laying on November 29, 2016 . Commissioned by Seven Star Energy Investment, it is to function as a part of Romandisea resort on the River Qi in Sichuan province . Unlike Palmer's Titanic II, the all - Chinese replica is not intended to sail on any ocean but will be permanently docked within a reservoir . The finished ship, which is already under construction, is scheduled to be completed in 2019, although the initial completion date was 2018 . </P>
