PLATFORM FORMED FROM FLOATING MEGASTRUCTURES
A floating platform, the platform including a plurality of floating chambers, wherein each chamber comprises a plurality of shipping containers, each container having a door at a first end and an opposing panel at a second end, the containers placed one above the other such that a door of one container is connected to an opposing panel of another container.
A WATER-BUOYANT STRUCTURE
A water-buoyant structure formed from concrete is disclosed. The structure comprises an outer wall that surrounds a perimeter of the structure and an inner wall separated from the outer wall by a cavity, such that the cavity extends for the perimeter of the structure. Separating the cavity can provide sufficient buoyancy to the structure to allow 5 the structure to float. The combination of outer and inner walls may also provide increased resistance to catastrophic damage in the event of an impact (e.g. the inner wall may remain intact).

ULTRA-LARGE MARINE SUBMERSIBLE TRANSPORT BOATS AND ARRANGEMENTS FOR TRANSPORTATION OF AQUEOUS BULK LIQUIDS, INCLUDING FRESH WATER
Ultra-large marine submersible transport boats and arrangements for aqueous bulk liquids transportation, including fresh water and irrigation drainage, from specifically configured supply stations to specifically configured delivery stations. Boats present rigid hydrodynamic shaped double-walled submersible hulls incorporating a plurality of inside-reinforced impervious ballast chambers and also present radial reinforcing elements and hollow interior cavities that enclose collapsible bulk liquid bladders for transporting bulk liquids. Hulls can be made of reinforced concrete. Hull openings permit seawater circulation, avoiding transportation of bulk ballast seawater. Submersible cruising reduces structural loads and drag. An on-board hydro-pneumatic ballasting system adds to and removes reusable hull ballast water from, the ballast chambers controlling the hull's depth, pitch, and roll. Propulsion, steering capabilities, and detailed arrangements and methods for loading, unloading, and transporting bulk liquids are presented. Hull manufacturing is done on marine floating platforms using onshore precast panels. Maintenance and end of life procedures are detailed.
