  • Testing of a continuous bucket-line dredging system was carried out in the South Pacific August 23 through September 14, 1970 by Japan Resources Association aboard the vessel "Chiyoda Maru No. 2". Fifteen dredge stations were occupied, and the system was tested at depths of 1080, 3755, and 1220 meters. The system is designed to recover manganese nodules, and the tests helped to verify its feasibility. A brief discussion of the merits of the continuous bucket-line compared to other continuous systems is made.
