OFFSHORE FLOATING PLATFORM Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B63B35/44 B63B35/34 E02B17/02 

FIELD: oil and gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to facilities of the continental shelf development. An offshore floating platform contains an undersea displacement module, a support subsea module with rigid support columns and binders, and straining ties fixed at seabed anchors. The support columns and binders can be detached from the undersea module in order to escape quickly from an ice-hazardous area and to return back to the abandoned place. The subsea module is made of individual sealed pontoons interconnected by rigid ties capable of limiting relative motion. The support columns of the subsea module are equipped with mechanisms for connection to pontoons of the undersea module and for interconnection of the modules.

EFFECT: improved reliability of the modules coupling/decoupling, simplified ballasting process.
