Our Mexican correspondent, Andrew Konczvald, reports that the Hidden Gem, a deepsea mining vessel owned by The Metals Company (TMC) is still parked offshore Manzanillo. The ship has moved a couple of miles and is now near a shipping lane. See Andrew’s pictures below.
Per TMC’s latest update, the earliest that deepsea mining operations could be conducted is late 2025, so the vessel is likely to remain in Manzanillo for Andrew’s viewing pleasure. Nothing like a water view with a rig on the horizon. 😉


This ship is so obnoxious. We were kept up every night during our winters stay (2022-23) being located in our ocean front casa.
It’s very noisy along being lit up like a Christmas tree. Pls move this huge vessel further out to sea away from any view corridor from shore.
