Ocean Mining Technology

Ocean mining technology involves specialized equipment designed to extract mineral-rich resources from the seabed, often located at great depths. The process typically includes remotely operated or autonomous vehicles that can locate and collect minerals like polymetallic nodules, sulfides, or cobalt-rich crusts without disturbing large areas of the ocean floor. Advanced sensors and suction or cutting tools are used to gather materials while minimizing environmental impact. Once collected, the minerals are transported to the surface for processing. This technology aims to sustainably access the ocean's valuable resources while addressing environmental and logistical challenges of deep-sea operations.
