ABSTRACT:
A floating island for the extraction of gas from the sea having a plurality of buoyancy units positioned on a base plate with columns extending upward therefrom, a height approximately the wave height expected. A platform containing gas liquefaction apparatus is positioned on the top of the columns. The buoyancy units are selected so that when the island is free floating, the columns project more than half way from the water.
