Semi-submersible platform

A semi-submersible platform is a type of offshore structure used for extracting oil and gas from beneath the ocean floor. It consists of submerged hulls that provide stability, supporting the weight of equipment and personnel above water. These platforms are designed to float securely, even in rough seas, by adjusting ballast water in their submerged parts. Their stable design makes them suitable for deep or challenging waters where fixed platforms are impractical. Essentially, they serve as floating workspaces that combine mobility with stability, enabling safe and efficient resource extraction in deep-sea environments.
