Abstract

A ship with special features for mining the ocean floor while operating in water depths in excess of 18,000 feet. These include first, a very large well in the center of the ship, passing through, but enclosed by the hull. The well is closable across the bottom by movable gates. Second, a pipe-handling system for moving large diameter mining pipe sections between the storage hold in the hull and the rig floor in the derrick where they are joined to or disconnected from the existing pipe "string" from which the mining machine is supported. Third, the lift system which operates to raise or lower the pipe string on continuous feed basis. Lastly, the derrick, derrick pipe-handling equipment and entire lift system are motion compensated in roll, pitch and heave such that the derrick and suspended pipe string remain vertical with respect to the earth, isolated from the actual sea-induced motions of the ship. The entire motion compensated system is supported over the center well by a large structural A-Frame.
