TAN SUO SAN HAO to pioneer future of deep-sea exploration
The groundbreaking scientific research vessel TAN SUO SAN HAO, also known as Exploration 3, marked its debut at the Nanshan Port Public Scientific Research Pier in Sanya Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City, Hainan province on Sunday morning.
This vessel, heralded for its completely independent intellectual property rights and specialized for deep-sea exploration on a global scale, made a grand entrance, setting a new standard in maritime innovation.
Upon its commissioning, TAN SUO SAN HAO is primed to kick off regular scientific research missions, deep-sea equipment trials, and underwater archaeological endeavors in the South China Sea during the first half of the upcoming year.
This will be facilitated by the manned deep-sea submersible, Shenhai Yongshi or Deep-Sea Warrior, according to the Sanya-based Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering. The latter part of 2025 will witness its manned deep-sea diving operations in the profound oceanic depths.
