Chinese scientists plan to carry out 10,000 meters underwater scientific expedition in Mariana Trench by manned deep-sea submersible in 2019, the Xinhua-run Economic Information Daily reported on Monday.

Wang Fang, a researcher with Shanghai Ocean University, said the university is organizing the establishment of a mobile lab for hadal science and technology that engages in developing 10,000-meter manned deep-sea submersible.

Wang said the research and development of 10,000-meter manned deep-sea submersible will create a series of new materials, new techniques, new equipment and new patents, which can be widely used in the fields of deep-sea equipment and high-end equipment manufacturing.

Industry insiders believe the research and development will greatly improve China's marine engineering equipment industry and bring new opportunities to relevant listed companies, including China Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. (601989.SH), Zhongyuan Special Steel Co., Ltd. (002423.SZ), China International Marine Containers (Group) Co., Ltd. (000039.SZ), China CSSC Holdings Limited (600150.SH) and GoerTek Inc. (002241.SZ).
