The conveying hose is an important piece of equipment in the field of Marine engineering. Its spatial configuration and force conditions affect the normal operation of the Marine engineering system. This paper proposes a flexible, fully hose-based conveyance method for the field of deep-sea mining and mainly uses Orcaflex software to simulate and analyze the characteristics of the conveying hose in this system. This paper studies the influences of the top spacing, incoming flow direction, and placement and recovery processes on the configuration characteristics and force conditions of the hose. The conclusion drawn is that the conveying hose studied in this paper can maintain a good spatial configuration underwater and has a stable force condition. When the top spacing is 20 m, the transition of the curved section at the bottom of the hose is relatively smooth. The top tension of the hose has a good adaptability to the top spacing and the direction of the incoming flow. The conveying hose can stably complete the deployment and recovery operations.
