  9. Maresearch Indonesia • Operations since 2007; • 27 shipwreck sites discovered; • Major project: the Wanli Cargo shipwreck (1580), the largest Ming porcelain wreck ever found (www.wanlicargo.com); • Sunk at 50-60m depth at Java Sea with a cargo of over 700.000 pieces of Ming porcelain from the Wanli Emperor period;

  10. Singapore Sumatra Java Jakarta South East Asia Maritime Trade Routes

  11. Reconnaissance expedition in May-June 2011 confirmed the archaeological, historical and commercial importance of the wreck; • Cargo consists of mainly blue & white export porcelain of good quality with some exceptional pieces; • Archaeological excavation will shed some light about the origin and characteristics of this important trade vessel;

  12. Excavation, recovery & conservation operations to start in March/April 2012; • Project duration including conservation & marketing 2-3 years; • Project budgeted at 8,5 mio Euro, fully financed.

  13. As Chinese National Heritage it goes back where it belongs Access to the Chinese buyers/markets Challenge: Access to Chinese marketing & distribution channels Chinese love for their heritage Highest Success Rate Access to Chinese TV channels Access to Chinese auction houses Access to Chinese archeologists/university professionals Access to Chinese museums

  14. Maresearch Mozambique • License for the Nampula Province territorial waters since 1999; • In August 2011, license was extended until 2014; • Operations started in 2000; • 40 shipwrecks sites discovered; • Four excavations concluded;

  15. Main excavation and recovery projects included the wrecks S. José (1622) with over 20.000 silver coins, and the Espadarte (1558) with a cargo of Ming porcelain from the Emperor Jiajing period (1522-66) and 12 kg of gold nuggets and disks smuggled between the ship ballast stones; • Extensive scientific publications and reports published for peer review at www.arq-publications.com; • Sponsorship of the rehabilitation of the Marine Museum at Mozambique Island;

  16. Exciting new historical research leads provided further 14 important shipwrecks targets dated from early 16th century to early 19th century; • Next survey operations starting in February 2012.

  17. The typical operational process in 3 phases Comprehensive survey with top-end equipment at the target area based on the research or fishermen information Fundamental archival research has been performed by a team of historians or local fishermen provided information Professional recovery operation of the confirmed wreck with all necessary equipment Decision to recover Decision to survey and financing Research Phase Survey Phase Recovery Phase • Deliverables: • Profound analysis of historical data and con-clusion of the coordi-nates of the location • Detailed maps and exact area of the location • Deliverables: • Detailed survey readings with high end sonar equipment (magnetometer, side scan, sub bottom profiler, etc.) • Analysis of the readings and marking potential wreck locations • Confirmation of the wreck value via reconnaissance and sampling • Deliverables: • Recovery operation of entire cargo • Complete inventory listing of the recovered cargo and artefacts • Conservation of all recovered artefacts RISK FACTOR Source: AWW

  25. Ocean Mines • Scientific research of deep sea resources in close partnership with local governments and scientific institutions all over the world; • Development of economic & technical feasibility studies for the exploration of deep-sea mining, energy and other resources; • To pursue new technological solutions and new industrial opportunities that arise from oceanographic and sea related geological discoveries; • The use of the latest clean technologies and state-of-the-art equipment to harvest the full potential of the ocean’s resources with minimal impact to the deep biosphere and the comprised maritime ecosystems; • To contribute to alleviate the threat and burden of global warming and resources scarcity with viable and more eco-friendly solutions in the mining industry.

  26. Hydrothermal Vents • Hydrothermal vents occur where cracks in the Earth’s crust allow seawater to penetrate downwards into areas of recent volcanic activity; • The seawater is not only heated to temperatures of hundreds of degrees C, but also modified (enriched) with dissolved minerals and suspended solids from the rocks; • This heated seawater returns into the ocean in hydrothermal fields, giving rise to often spectacular ‘black smokers’ and ‘white smokers’ – similar in appearance to miniature erupting volcanoes;

  27. Sulphides precipitated in the chimneys and the volcanic rock forming Seafloor Massive Sulphide (SMS) ore deposits; • Such ore deposits occur at mid-oceanic ridges, but also back-arc basins and submarine volcanoes in volcanic island arcs may contain interesting hydrothermal sulfide mineralizations; • SMS deposits are often rich in Copper, Gold, Silver and Zinc among other metals.

  29. Deep Sea Mining (DSM) • DSM represents a new trend in ocean exploration as SMS have the potential to become a significant mineral resource. Potential mining operations will be located at inactive SMS deposit sites; • The primary reasons for the mining industry’s current interest of the deep-sea are three-fold: (1) SMS deposits are located at relatively shallow depths and accessible by current technology, (2) DSM may be cheaper than terrestrial mining (Heydon, 2005), and (3) the global demand for minerals is increasing, specifically the future economies of India and China may require large amounts of copper, making DSM even more economically viable (Yamazaki, 2005a);

  30. The technology that will be used for DSM is adapted from the offshore gas and petroleum industries; • The proposed technology roll-out will consist of the following stages: exploration including sampling and drilling, extraction, transportation, processing, and siting; • The process of extractive technology uses a drum cutter for breaking up the SMS. The SMS ore with its associated sediment will be transported through a riser pipe up to the ship where it is dewatered; • The ore is then transported to shore and waste water slurry is returned to a specific location to be determined; • Adaptation of the technology presents a possible opportunity for industry to directly mitigate negative environmental impacts.
