A twin-hulled vessel named after scientist Shen Kuo began a 45-day voyage on Sunday with a crew of 60 to test equipment and conduct field research in the Mariana Trench.
A research team from Shanghai Ocean University and Westlake University is led by Cui Weicheng, director of Shanghai Ocean University’s Hadal Science and Technology Research Center.
The ship left Luchao Port in Shanghai for Challenger Deep, the deepest known point on the seabed, at the southern end of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean.
