Pilot Nodule Collection System Trials - Nodules On Board

In the first integrated nodule collection system test conducted in the Clarion Clipperton Zone since the 1970s, TMC and Allseas have successfully collected an initial batch of seafloor nodules, and transported them up a 4km-long riser system to the surface. During a 60-minute pilot collection run across ~150 meters of the seafloor, ~14 tonnes of nodules were collected by the pilot collector vehicle, transported to the surface using a 4.3-km riser system and placed into the hold of the surface production vessel Hidden Gem.
