Beijing: China is developing a manned submersible capable of taking a crew to all of earth’s sea floors, the country’s Shipbuilding Industry Corporation said.

The project is led by the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) Research Institute that developed Jiaolong, China’s first manned deep-sea submersible which had set a Chinese record in June 2012 by reaching 7,062 m deep in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench, allowing the vessel to conduct research and exploration on 99.8% of the world’s seafloors. The CSIC has also been developing a manned submersible that can reach a depth of 4,500 m.
