Achievements：

The “Hai Ma” ROV, developed by the oceanology team, is the first 4500-meter deep-sea operation-class vehicle in China. Since 2014, it has been applied to deep-sea geological exploration and found “Hai Ma” cold spring. Due to its outperformance, the “Hai Ma” ROV won the first prize in both 2014 China ocean top ten scientific and technological progress and 2017 Shanghai scientific and technological progress.
