China's domestically-developed deep-sea manned submersible Fendouzhe (Striver) was delivered Tuesday to the Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
China Ship Scientific Research Center, the developer of the manned submersible, signed the delivery memorandum with the institute in the port city of Sanya, south China's Hainan Province.
Fendouzhe is expected to play a significant role in China's deep-sea scientific research, marine resources survey and emergency sea rescue missions.
The institute has led the formation of a scientific instruction committee for the use of Fendouzhe and manned submersible Shenhai Yongshi (Deep Sea Warrior), capable of reaching depths of 10,000 meters and 4,500 meters, respectively.
