Abstract

Lifting pipe used in deep ocean mining is the tool to transport mineral from seabed to vessel. In this study, a vessel was retrofitted as an experimental ship for deep ocean mining with a U-type lifting pipe installed on the right side of vessel. Assuming pipe as a rigid structure, the impact of pipe on movements of vessel were discussed based on frequency domain method for hydrodynamic analysis.
