I. Current Status

Hainan has approximately 2 million square kilometers of sea area, and is in the important position of holding jurisdiction over two thirds of China's sea area. While still in the initial stages of development, deep-sea technology is one of the future pillar industries being nurtured by Hainan, with a deep sea tech zone already set up in Sanya.

II. Development Advantages

Location

Of all the regions in China, Hainan is closest to the deep sea. Most parts of the South China Sea are more than 400 meters deep. It has an average depth of 1,212 meters.

Resources

The seabed of the South China Sea contains large amounts of metal minerals, oil and gas, and "combustible ice" resources.

Strategies

With regard to national strategies such as boosting maritime powers, Hainan is set to become the most important support base for the development of resources in the South China Sea.

Talents

The research ability and talent reserves of research institutes such as the Deep Sea Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences makes it possible to develop the deep-sea technology industry in Hainan.

III. Development Direction

Investment opportunities:

Deep sea equipment

Deep sea materials

Deep sea communications

Marine biomedicine

Marine ships

Marine public services

IV. New Opportunities for FTP Investment

Talent introduction policies:

Hainan provides support for deep-sea technology talents in terms of salary, children's education, housing subsidies, achievement awards and entrepreneurial support, which helps attract talents from related companies to live and work in Hainan.

Platform construction service support:

Hainan will further promote the construction of science and technology platforms like the Deep Sea Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in terms of land and policies. Similar platforms will become the outputs for deep sea mineral, oil and gas exploration technology R&D, and provide related companies with technical cooperation.

Projects leading industry support:

Hainan continues to support the industrialization of deep sea scientific and technological achievements, the R&D of key generic technologies and the provision of core engineering equipment in order to provide related enterprises with marine technology service capabilities and promote its deep sea industry.

V. Recommended Industrial Park

(1) Haikou National Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone
