# Mothership concept https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.872.7059&rep=rep1&type=pdf https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/241421/reporting ## Mothership form * Tugboat that provides movement of ~10 storage units: 1. Detachable harvester * Problably has it's own electronics as well as a motor * Hotswap connections in open sea 2. Simple implementation * Small scale * Fast set up * Oil rig or tanker 1. Tanker * Higher capacity for storing units and supplying boats * Allows to be more distant from the coastline 2. Oil rig * Lots of unused structure * Much more remote * Housing for workers * Can generate it's own green power ## Reaserch conclusion Conclusions that were made in previous papers in this research field are still very abstract in their findings. Potential concepts require further information as well as prototyping.
