FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: floating island represents partially submerged volume structure made of floating facilities with positive bouyancy which are interconnected by means of flexible inextensible link and resilient damping link. Floating facilities are neighbouring each other and spaced in horizontal direction, and each one them represents volume hollow structure with side walls, bottom and roof which is base surface located above water for island infrastructure facilities to be installed on it. Each floating facility is made as hollow sealed block having positive bouyancy and shape of regular parallelepiped or regular prism with height less than length of any of base sides. Each wall of each floating facility facing wall of adjacent floating facility is connected with this wall by means of flexible inextensible link and resilient damping link throughout the length of this wall. The resilient damping link is made capable of damping in at least two mutually perpendicular directions.
EFFECT: reliability and durability of island, increased carrying capacity of island.
