Express News Service CHENNAI: A 27-member scientific crew from Chennai-based National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT), an autonomous body under the Union Ministry of Earth Sciences, created history in April this year conducting world's deepest underwater locomotion trials of an indigenously developed seabed crawler based mining machine at Central Indian Ocean Basin. Even as the deadly second wave of coronavirus engulfed the country and brought life to standstill, the NIOT crew undertook a gruelling voyage onboard research vessel ORV Sagar Nidhi traversing 1,700 nautical miles (3,000 km approx) to execute a complex mission of field testing the 8-tonne crawler sending it to 5,270 metres deep down into the Indian ocean. The crawler is a key component of Varaha deep sea mining technology, which is underdevelopment for harvesting polymetallic nodules from the depths of 6 km in the area allocated to India by the International Seabed Authority (ISA) in the Central Indian Oceanfor survey and exploration. It is part of Indian government's ambitious Deep Ocean Mission, which was formally launched last month with a purse of Rs 4,077 crore. Team NIOT that conducted locomotion trails of seabed mining crawler. NIOT director GA Ramadass told The New Indian Express that the locomotion trails were successful and met all the intended objectives, paving way for the next level of development and trials at sea.
