Abstract

A pilot lifting test(PLT) at a 1,000 m deep sea can be planned as the middle stage of developingthe mining technology of the deep-sea mineral resources such as manganese pavement and seafloor hydrothermaldeposit. In this paper, the fundamental factors including the test ship and the lifting system comprized of handlingequipment, lifting and supply pipes, lifting pump, buffer tank, and power system required for the PLT, have beeninvestigated. And the basic design of the control and monitoring for PLT has been suggested. The operation andthe mob and demob of a test-ship, the shipping, installation, interface and unload of the equipments, the deploymentand recovery of the underwater equipments such as lifting pipes, lifting pump, and tank, as well as the overallprocedures of PLT have been considered and presented. The results of this study can be used as a useful guideof the deep-sea mineral lifting test in the next stage of the development.
