| 摘要 | A system and method is provided for subsea mining from a vessel having a miner configured to be suspended from the vessel, with the miner having a plurality of mining drums each rotatable about a drum axis oriented at a non-zero angle to a vertical line from the miner to the vessel and having an outer peripheral surface; a rotatable pilot extending below the mining drums; and a mechanical auger rotationally coupled to the pilot and extending above the mining drums. The miner can be lowered to a seafloor, and the pilot engaged with the seafloor to restrict lateral movement of the miner. The pilot can be actuated to rotate with the auger and the mining drums can be actuated to mine materials in the seafloor. The mining drums push the mined materials toward the auger to lift the mined materials toward the vessel above the mining drums. | ||||||
