Research vessel to dock in June
Print Edition
CHINA’S new ocean-going research vessel “Zhang Jian” will dock in Shanghai and be open to the public from June 11 to 15, its owners said yesterday.
The ship, which also carries the country’s first deep-sea submersible “Rainbow Fish,” will welcome 1,000 people a day, Marco Zheng, operations manager at Shanghai Rainbow Fish Ocean Technology Co, told Shanghai Daily.
He didn’t say how much admission would cost, but said visitors would also be able to take a trip in a submersible, at an additional fee.
The public should remember that while they can “look at everything on the ship, they will not be allowed to touch any of the scientific facilities,” he said.
“Zhang Jian” floated off the production line last month and is currently undergoing final testing in east China’s Zhejiang Province.
The ship, which is the first of its type in China to be privately funded, is scheduled to make its first voyage in July, when it will sail to the New Britain Trench in the Pacific Ocean.
