EDIT: so, the sailors and the ceremony itself looks like it might be taking place inside the drydock on some kind of platform. Presumably the second hull's keel therefore would be "behind" the ceremony platform, out of sight because it has a lower profile and because it would be out of frame.
.... or, this is on the other side of the yard overlooking the drydock (and not inside the drydock), and the reason we can't see the second hull is because it's lower in the drydock being only a keel/lower hull at this time. It's a bit hard to pin down whether this is taken at the edge overlooking the drydock or actually inside the drydock.
It would make more sense to be on the edge, because holding the ceremony inside the drydock doesn't really make sense. The fact that we can see the lower hull of hull 1 including the bulbous bow throws me off a bit.
I expect we'll get launch pictures from other perspectives in time, to confirm the presence of hull 2 in the drydock.

I like the before/after pic of the launch ceremony. It can be set up like the drake meme.

To reiterate a famous GIPHY commonly posted here:
Now, the question becomes, what is the Sept. 26 notice-to-mariners about?

usually in PLAN the ceremony is held one day ahead
It takes a whole day to fill the drydock before the ship can be towed out.
I believe this is the most likely what happened after reviewing previously posted photos by SinoSoldier. You can see the dock side crane hoisting what looks like elevated platforms into the dry dock.

I agree. In the end it doesn't matter if they didn't want pictures of the second hull taken this soon.

You need to put this in between. This tweet from East Pendulum.

Congrats
Blitzo good point Hull 2 has disappeared
It was 3-4 floors built and we can see bottom floor of Hull 1 so where is Hull 2, behind Hull 1? Did they swap

After the launch of the first ship, the vacant space in the same dock will be where the third ship is built?
