Studies on Baltic nodules have been undertaken since the1920s. In the 1970sand 1980s, the Polish Geological Institute - National Research Institute conducted researches on the bottom sediments of the Baltic Sea, which allowed identifying the regions of occurrence of Fe-Mn nodules in the southern part of the Baltic Sea (Mojski, 1989-1994). Nodules from the Polish Baltic Sea Zone are the least studied element of the marine environment. So far, there is a lack of information on environmental-geological conditions of formation and occurrence of nodules, their metal resources and deposit potential. The Fe-Mn nodules may be a valuable source of information on the contamination of the Baltic Sea water and bottom sediments. In cooperation between the Institute of Oceanography of the University ofGdañsk and the Polish Geological Institute-NRI, two research cruises were carried out in August and September 2020 on a 5 X 5 km testing ground in the Gotland-Gdańsk Threshold region. The seabed surface was profiled using multibeam echo sounders and a side-scan sonar. A hundred samples of Fe-Mn nodules, 25 samples of surface sediments associated with the nodules, and25 samples of clay rocks underlain by marine sediments were collected. The extensive documentary material will enable, for the first time, to estimate the nodule resources and determine the regularity of their occurrence.

For the past 50 years, Poland has been actively involved in the research on marine mineral resources. Since 1987, research cruises and documentation of the polymetallic concretions (Fe-Mn) in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone on the Pacific seabed have been performed as part of the Interoceanmetal project. In 2016, the IOM presented a report to the ISA on the past research and new technologies for processing concretions, together with an economic analysis regarding the process of development of concretion deposits. In 2018, ISA granted Poland the right to search for polymetallic sulphides in the Atlantic Ocean. At the same time, a government project called PRoGEo was launched to encourage the reconnaissance search for marine minerals. This opens a new chapter in the history of Polish participation in the search for marine mineral deposits. Poland is an active participant in international organization, created based on the Convention on the Law of the Sea. Initially, Polish involvement was limited to legal matters, and then extended to geology of the sea and marine mineral deposits. A more active role of Poland in marine exploration during the last years requests to familiar Polish geologists with the current stage of knowledge about marine resources. The current state of knowledge of marine mineral deposits, though still requiring further research, is sufficient to plan their development in the near future. This paper argues that the deposits of polymetallic sulphides, Co-rich crust, gas hydrates and polymetallic concretions will likely be developed first.

Between 1976–1990, the Polish Geological Institute performed geological works in the Polish Maritime Areas. During these works, 260 occurrences of concretions were recorded from 7,500 sampled sites. In 1980, the threshold that separates the Bornholm Basin from the Słupsk Furrow was mapped. Numerous Fe-Mn nodules on the seabed were found in that area. The results of detailed analyses of nodule samples collected from four sites are presented in this paper. Analyzed nodules represent discoidal D, irregular I, and transitional D-I types. The nodules are characterized by varied chemical composition of main oxides (Fe, Mn). The maximum Fe2O3 content is 26.63% and MnO 23.18%. Total average amount of REE + Y in the samples is approximately 165.11 ppm, ΣLREE 145.72 ppm and ΣHREE 19.39 ppm. The LREE content is enriched in comparison to HREE. The majority of nodules consist of Fe-Mn oxy-hydroxide minerals with very low crystallinity (practically amorphous phases). The main confirmed Mn-phases are birnessite and todorokite. Other main components of the nodules are: detrital quartz, albite, microcline, glauconite and muscovite, clinochlore, and clay minerals: illite and chlorite. The rate of growth of Fe-Mn nodules has been estimated using a cobalt chronometer. The nodule growth rate ranges from 0.006 to 0.134 mm/yr –1. Based on the Fe, Mn and (Cu + Co + Ni) contents, the origin of studied nodules is determined as hydrogenetic, while using REE (Cesn/Cesn • vs. Nd) – as diagenetic.

W latach 1976–1990 Państwowy Instytut Geologiczny realizował prace geologiczne na Polskich Obszarach Morskich. Opróbowano 7500 miejsc, a w 260 stwierdzono występowanie konkrecji. W roku 1980 prace kartograficzne prowadzono m.in. na obszarze progu oddzielającego Basen Bornholmski od Rynny Słupskiej, gdzie stwierdzono występowanie licznych konkrecji Fe-Mn. W niniejszym artykule są prezentowane wyniki analiz konkrecji pobranych na 4 stanowiskach. Badania dotyczą konkrecji następujących typów: dyskoidalnych D, nieregularnych I oraz przejściowych D-I. Badane konkrecje charakteryzują się zmiennym składem głównych tlenków (Fe, Mn). Maksymalna zawartość Fe2O3 wynosi 26,63%, a MnO 23,18%. Łączna średnia zawartość REE + Y w badanych próbkach jest na poziomie 165,11 ppm, ΣLREE – 145,72 ppm i ΣHREE – 19,39 ppm. Zauważalne jest wzbogacenie w LREE w porównaniu do HREE. Konkrecje w większości są zbudowane z tlenków i wodorotlenków Fe i Mn o bardzo niskim stopniu krystaliczności (praktycznie fazy mineralne są amorficzne). Głównymi potwierdzonymi fazami manganu są birnessyt i todorokit. Pozostałymi głównymi składnikami konkrecji są: kwarc terygeniczny, albit, mikroklin, glaukonit i muskowit, klinochlor, minerały ilaste: illit, chloryt. Wartość tempa wzrostu w badanych konkrecjach, określona z użyciem chronometru kobaltowego, wynosi od 0,006 do 0,134 mm/yr –1. Na podstawie zawartości Fe, Mn oraz (Cu + Co + Ni) badane konkrecje określono jako hydrogeniczne, podczas gdy używając zależności REE (Cesn/Cesn • vs. Nd) jako diagenetyczne.

In the last years, in the area of mining polymetallic nodules has been made a lot of progress in their search, assessment of the marine environment, the development of mining technology, was developed a framework for political and legal and made economic analysis. Therefore, is increasingly becoming a feasible mining of Fe-Mn on an industrial scale. One of the basic elements of the whole system of mining is mining ship, hence the article presents a scheme the determination of its size depending on the initial parameters, i.e.: the annual efficiency of mining and storage period of excavated material in the holds of the ship. Determined dependence of regression to the preliminary forecasting ship size by using the information from drill ships – deemed similar in terms of functional and architectural. As a result of analyzing the main compartments of the vessel was estimated the percentage of volume in the hull of the vessel. Performed visualization of spatial design concept of mining ship.
