Project Orient Limited

Hello Dr. Payne - there is a report that you are signed on to design two 100,000 ton ships for a proposed 25-day Southampton-Sydney service "Project Orient Limited". Do you envision these proposed vessels as ocean liners or enhanced cruise ships? Are there aspects unique to QM2 that you might also incorporate into this design? Such as the Normandy break water or sheltered balconies?

Dear BlueRiband,

I am not as yet signed up to the Project Orient project but I am aware of it and watching developments!

Thank you for your question.

Stephen
