Each Eureka IV, our planned production-scale underwater robot, will be able to deliver 12 metric tons of nodules to the transport ship in under 4 hours. The same vehicle can be reused eight times in 24 hours to deliver 96 metric tons to the transport ship. 100 Eureka IV robots operating in parallel would harvest 9,600 tons per day. No fundamental limit exists on how many underwater robots and transport ships are deployed. We anticipate a volume production per location of around 6 million tons of nodules annually.
