ABSTRACT:
An offshore station moored at sea is comprised of a plurality of floats which support a platform that is adapted to accommodate personnel, facilities, and equipment. The platform-supporting floats have normally submerged portions which require periodic maintenance due to their continuous subjection to corrosion and marine fouling by sea water. Ballasting chambers are provided so that the floating level of each float may be raised or lowered by either blowing or flooding the float, respectively. Freshly-maintained floats are thereby interchanged with the platform-supporting floats.
