Abstract :
The topic of this paper is preliminary front-end engineering and design (pre-FEED) of mining vessel (MV). The vessel will be used exclusively for mining manganese nodules located at around 5,000 meter water depth of northern east Pacific Ocean, called Clarion-Clipperton fracture zone. In this engineering process, the scope of MV´s pre-FEED is confined to design basis, general arrangement (G/A), trim and stability calculation, motion analysis, down time analysis, DP capability analysis and electric load analysis (ELA).
