Deep-sea polymetallic nodule collection

Deep-sea polymetallic nodule collection

Renewable energy technologies that can drive the global energy transition will require a significant increase in the production of metals, some of which are scarce or only available in a few countries. Vast areas of the deep-ocean floor are covered with mineral-rich resources such as polymetallic nodules. Lying on the seafloor unattached, these nodules contain high grades of manganese, cobalt and nickel – metals required to build batteries for storing renewable energy and powering electric vehicles.

We are leveraging our world-renowned deep-water expertise to develop technology to responsibly recover polymetallic nodules from the ocean floor and transfer them 4.5 km to the surface for transportation to shore. Our collection system comprises a polymetallic nodule collector, a vertical transport system and nodule collection vessel “Hidden Gem”.

Deep-sea polymetallic nodule collection represents a new frontier and a new exciting chapter in Allseas’ history. With our offshore pedigree and innovative capability, we can develop creative technical solutions to supply the metals needed for clean energy technologies in support of the global economy of the future.

Specialised pipelay operations Increasingly, oil and gas companies are prospecting and producing in areas that until recently would have been considered uneconomic or even impossible to explore.
Survey and subsea operations Allseas has a comprehensive range of vessel-based remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and survey equipment utilising the latest high-specification sensors and equipment.
Installation Offshore installation varies with the type of development involved. Fixed platforms have the most work involved; jackets and topside decks need to be transported to the well location.
When oil and gas fields end production, their facilities need to be removed and disposed of (or recycled), a process known as “decommissioning”. Decommissioning of offshore structures is
