Abstract

JAMSTEC (Japan Marine Science and Technology Center) has developed and built up a 2,000m deep submergence research vehicle system. This system is consisted of the submergence vehicle "SHINKAI 2000", her support ship "NATSUSHIMA" and the shoreside base and these make themselves to be a trinity so that the research operations will be carried out safely and efficiently. The construction of this system will be accomplished on the end of October 1981 and thereafter the training of crew using this system and also the research operation will be done. Besides this system, the training simulator for training the submersible crew has also been developed and constructed for safe and sure operation of submersible. In this paper research/development, the principal characteristics and features of the submersible system and the outline of the training simulator are shown.
