The “Shinkai 6500” is a manned research submersible that can dive to a depth of 6,500m, which is owned and operated by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC).
Diving surveys were conducted in the global oceans, including the Pacific, Atlantic and   Indian Oceans, and the total number of dives reached 1500 in 2017 during a research cruise conducted by Professor Kato’s group within the Minami-Tori-Shima EEZ. Three crews (two pilots and a scientist) operate within a titanium pressure hull with an internal diameter of 2 m. Direct observation of sea-floor through three small windows and various operations using two manipulators can be performed using the “Shinkai 6500”.
Researches of manganese nodules and REY-rich mud by “Shinkai 6500” in the Japanese EEZ around the Minami-Tori-Shima Island achieved big results, such as the discovery of  vast “manganese nodules fields” and developing new exploration methods of REY-rich mud.

“Shinkai 6500” is a manned research submersible owned and operated by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC). In the Japanese EEZ around the Minamitorishima Island, it was utilized for researches of deep-sea mineral resources, such as developing new exploration methods of REY-rich mud and searching “manganese nodules fields”.
