Construction work on a large harbor to accomodate cruise ships will be completed at the end of May in Tianjin, the largest artifical deep-water port of northern China, according to port management authorities.

The authorities said the harbor would be the largest ferry terminal in Asia.

The harbor, designed to be able to accomodate two cruise vessels at the same time, will receive leading cruise liners "Costa" and "Legend of the Seas" in June.

Last year, Tianjin port received 50 visits of international cruise ships, a growth of 56 percent year-on-year, with 54,118 human entries and departures by the liners, up 77 percent.
