Abstract

The particulars and procedures of deep ocean mining are presented. Emphasis is placed upon design uncertainties and their influence on operational efficiency. Requirements which have evolved as a consequence are identified and reviewed. Particular focus is directed towards navigation, communications, data transfer, accurate real-time weather monitoring, and prediction of sea and atmospheric conditions. It is concluded that deep ocean mining will be, to a large extent, dependent upon the transfer of operational information, its availability, accuracy, and reliability.
