APPARATUS FOR REMOVING NODULAR MATERIAL FROM THE SEABED AND FOR SEPARATING SAID NODULAR MATERIAL
A vehicle (6) apparatus for removing material from the seabed is disclosed. The vehicle comprises first thrusters (10) for moving the vehicle vertically and second thrusters (12) for moving the vehicle horizontally. A collector unit removes material from the seabed, and a latching mechanism (42) is adapted to be connected to a riser to enable removed material to be transported to a vessel on the surface. The separator comprises tines that in some embodiments comprise ridges. The separator comprises a water jet configured to move material towards the inlet and to remove smaller material.
