A floating structure includes: a floating body including one or more buoyant bodies disposed around a structure; and a plurality of first support wires disposed between the structure and the floating body and configured to transmit the self-weight of the structure to the floating body. Each of the first support wires having: one end connected to the floating body; and another end connected to the structure below the one end.

A sandwich construction element (100) is disclosed. The sandwich construction element comprises a first element (101) with a face, extending in a longitudinal direction with a thickness and a height being smaller than the longitudinal length, and a second element (102) with a face, extending in the same longitudinal direction as the first element with a thickness and a height being smaller than the longitudinal length, wherein the second element is facing the flat face of the first element (101). The sandwich construction element further comprises an open core structure (103) arranged between, and operatively connected to the first element (101) and the second element (102), wherein the open core structure comprises a plurality of close packed tetraeder structures (201).

A floating structure based on the 700 tensegrity principle is described. A planar closed loop structure (1700) has a plurality of beams (300) and a plurality of beam adapters (700). Each of the plurality of beams (300) is formed by coupling multiple n-strut twisted prism units. Each of the multiple n-strut twisted prism units includes n-sided planar polygonal surfaces on opposite sides through which the respective n-strut twisted prism unit is coupled to another n-strut twisted prism unit or a beam adapter. Each of the plurality of beam adapters (700) is an m-strut twisted prism unit having planar polygonal side faces for coupling to an n-sided planar polygonal surface of a beam (300).

The disclosure relates to a floating wind turbine platform, comprising: a substantially triangular hull configurable to support a wind turbine tower; the hull comprising a first, second and third column, the first, second and third columns being connected by a first, second and third pontoon member, as well as by a first, second and third connector.

An offshore floating structure is provided including a floater with positive buoyancy and a keel with negative buoyancy, as well as active and passive suspenders connecting nodes of the keel and the floater with each other. When the keel at the offshore site is lowered by making the active suspenders longer, the passive suspenders, which have a fixed length and are held taut, causes the keel to rotate about the vertical during lowering.

The disclosure relates to a floating wind turbine platform, comprising: a substantially triangular hull configurable to support a wind turbine tower; the hull comprising a first, second and third column, the first, second and third columns being connected by a first, second and third pontoon member, as well as by a first, second and third connector.
