中科院“实验3”号南海科考作业进展顺利

经过昼夜兼程的海上航行,中国科学院南海海洋研究所“实验3”号综合科学考察船20日上午重返南海预定海域,按计划开展第13个大面观测站科考作业。

Nanhai (CNS) ? The marine research ship “Shiyan 3” returned to its scheduled sea area Monday morning to continue carrying out its oceanic survey.

A broken geological sampling winch had forced the boat to return to Guangzhou for repairs.

Scientific investigation on the sea is much riskier than on land, said Chen Yurong, senior engineer at the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, which is in charge of the mission.

The Shiyan 3 is scheduled to cover 5,000 nautical miles this summer.
