""The nation has various types of marine research facilities, such as deep-sea test pools, research vessels, and deep-sea submersibles. However, there is a lack of research facilities that can both navigate quickly and operate for extended periods in a single mission area.""
""By integrating the characteristics of semi-submersible platforms and research vessels used in the marine oil and gas sector, a completely new concept of a semi-submersible research platform has been formed.""
China's Shanghai Jiao Tong University is building the Deep-Sea All-Weather Resident Floating Research Facility, the largest semi-submersible research platform. This facility will be 30 stories high and designed to accommodate 238 staff members. It will feature six major research facilities, including a marine disaster lab and installations for marine meteorology. The platform will allow experiments at depths of 10,000 meters and is set to be completed by 2030, with a deck area equivalent to two football fields.
