Design analysis of the mining ship to the extraction of Fe-Mn

In the last years, in the area of mining polymetallic nodules has been made a lot of progress in their search, assessment of the marine environment, the development of mining technology, was developed a framework for political and legal and made economic analysis. Therefore, is increasingly becoming a feasible mining of Fe-Mn on an industrial scale. One of the basic elements of the whole system of mining is mining ship, hence the article presents a scheme the determination of its size depending on the initial parameters, i.e.: the annual efficiency of mining and storage period of excavated material in the holds of the ship. Determined dependence of regression to the preliminary forecasting ship size by using the information from drill ships – deemed similar in terms of functional and architectural. As a result of analyzing the main compartments of the vessel was estimated the percentage of volume in the hull of the vessel. Performed visualization of spatial design concept of mining ship.
