A foundation for an offshore structure is disclosed. The foundation includes a tower having an anchoring portion anchored in the seabed and a connecting portion arranged at the opposite end. The foundation also includes a power generation system arranged above the water surface connected to the connecting portion of the tower. A natural frequency of the offshore structure lies below an excitation component one times the rotational frequency 1P of at least one exciting component. The foundation also includes at least one restoring element connected to the tower via one or more transition pieces. The restoring element is designed such that, in a skewed position of the tower, tensile and/or compressive forces can be transferred to the tower by means of the restoring element such that the tower can be straightened up.

Soft-soft foundation for offshore structures

The invention relates to an offshore installation, comprising an underwater foundation structure, a construction placed onto the foundation structure, a docking device for a boat, and a device for cathodic corrosion protection for the underwater foundation structure, said device having at least two anodes (), which are arranged at a distance from each other and are each fastened to a beam () or a support of the foundation structure, the extension arms or the supports being connected directly to the foundation structure below the waterline.

Offshore installation

An offshore wind turbine, having a supporting structure, having a nacelle, having a rotor, having an interior space, having at least one access opening, and having a means of ascent, such as a ladder, a staircase or the like, wherein the supporting structure has a tower and a foundation structure, wherein the tower supports the nacelle and the rotor, wherein the access opening is configured as an access for people to the interior space, wherein the means of ascent is arranged in the interior space, wherein the means of ascent is assigned to the access opening, and wherein no external work platform is arranged between the foundation structure and the access opening, as viewed along a vertical extent of the supporting structure.
