Is there an ocean liner in China?

No, long-range jet planes gradually stole the tourists from ocean-going passenger ships after they appeared in the late 1950s. Because the construction and maintenance cost of large high-speed passenger ships is extremely high, and the speed is much lower than that of airplanes, which does not meet the needs of modern economy, such ships have declined for more than ten years. The large-scale ocean-going passenger liner route disappeared completely in the world in June 65438 +09771October 65438.

Coastal passenger and cargo ships are generally less than 6000 gross tons, and the speed is 14 ~ 18 nautical miles per hour. There are many classes of shipping space and large cargo capacity. The Long March, a passenger and cargo ship off the coast of China, has a total tonnage of 5,926 tons, a length of 124 meters, six decks, 9000 horsepower and a speed of 18 nautical miles per hour, and can carry about 900 passengers and 2000 tons of cargo.
