Global Dream II was built by the German-Hong Kong joint venture MV Werften at a cost of approximately $1.4 billion. When MV Werften declared bankruptcy earlier this year, the construction of this 9,000-passenger ship was almost finished. This is how the unfortunate story of the huge ship began.
Global Dream II is waiting for the decision to be taken for itself at the shipyard
After the company named MV Werften announced its bankruptcy, the Global Dream II, which was the last to be produced, unfortunately did not find any buyers. The last stop for this gigantic ship, which is 342 meters long and has 20 floors, seems to be the junkyard.
This impressive ship, which even includes an open-air water park and movie theater, would be the ship with the largest passenger capacity in the world. Global Dream II would almost overshadow the ship named Wonder of the Seas, which holds the title of being the largest ship with a capacity of 6 thousand 988 people, with a capacity of 9 thousand.
Despite the $1.4 billion spent to build this giant, around $230 million is still needed to complete the ship. Although this huge ship seems to be finished from the outside, it is stated that there is still something to be done inside.
As the name suggests, this ship has another twin. The decision to scrap for this ship has not been made yet. According to the information received, both ships are being held at a shipyard in Wismar, Germany. However, as this shipyard will be used for warships next year, the time for both ships has been shortened.
While it is stated that there is still hope for both ships, it is believed that Global Dream will be able to find a buyer soon. On the other hand, along with the pandemic, the tourism sector has also suffered greatly. COVID-19, which has hit the global travel industry, has also caused the shipyards that build cruise ships to come to a standstill.
Considering all these situations, it may be the end of the road for Global Dream II. The last stop of the ships may be Aliağa Ship Breaking Center. So what do you think about this huge cruise ship? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
