The application relates to a floatable foundation structure for an offshore structure including at least one floating body arrangement and at least one mass arrangement. The mass arrangement is connected to the floating body arrangement by at least one holding rope in a coupling state. Further, in the coupling state for coupling the floating body arrangement to the mass arrangement, a coupling section of the holding rope is arcuately guided around a contact section of the mass arrangement.

The invention relates to an offshore hydrocarbon production facility arrangement that is to be located on a body of water, which includes a floating hydrocarbon processing unit, a floating renewable electric energy source, and a hydrogen gas source, wherein the floating renewable electric energy source is configured to generate electric energy; the hydrogen gas source is configured to produce hydrogen gas using the electric energy from the floating renewable electric energy source; the floating hydrocarbon processing unit is configured with an electric power generator; the electric power generator is coupled to the hydrogen gas source and is configured for receiving produced hydrogen gas as fuel gas.

The disclosure provides a method and system to monitor and advise the status of a group of floating platforms, such as offshore floating wind platforms, by using a floating platform's motion in the group and detect one or more anomalies to identify one or more disorders (including irregularities) in the group. Input for this method can include information of wind speed and direction and orientations of the wind turbine nacelles. The orientation of the platform can complement the orientation of a wind turbine nacelle on the platform in case the platform is equipped with a turret. Disorders include, but not limited to, mooring line failure, shifts of a drag anchor, other issues with the mooring system components such as fairleads, issues with the ballasting configuration of the floater, issues with the turret (if any), issues with the swivel of the nacelle, issues with the rotor, and issues with the blades.

Multi-Purpose Floating Structures are special design in water floating structures applications, long lasting and easy for replacement. It is the most economical and safe way to build a floating structure to suit for anything that are floated on the water. The mounting frames are designed with capability of ensuring system integration, components replication, cost reduction and modularization by using recycled plastic drums or other floating containers.
