| Zusammenfassung: | Floating offshore structures comprising a buoyancy structure arranged such that in use it remains below the sea level, and a tower, wherein the buoyancy structure is attached to the tower by a substantially tubular connecting structure, wherein one or more through channels are provided in the buoyancy structure, the through channels being traversing the buoyancy structure and extending from a bottom portion of the buoyancy structure to an inner portion of the connecting structure, the through channels being dimensioned such that sea water can flow into and out of the connecting structure with variations of the sea level. The application further relates to floating offshore structures comprising a wind turbine and to methods of reducing buoyancy variations in such floating offshore structures. |
