Extensive computer simulation and performance analysis and assessment have been carried out for the dynamic positioning control of a large, commercial ocean mining ship/pipe system, and selective results are presented. It is tentatively concluded that automatic position control, with a manual override option, of a 300,000 tons ship with 18 thrusters of 4,500 hp and an 18,000 feet long lift pipe system would be feasible for commercial operations of a preliminary mining system in the Pacific Ocean. The preliminary system employs a self-propelled miner similar to the one having been tested in the Pacific Ocean.
