A floating offshore platform is provided which, in operation, is anchored to the sea bed by an anchoring device. The platform includes an elongate column-like structure which, in operation, floats in an upright position. An anchoring device is connected to the elongate structure by at least one vertically extending cable or the like which is tensioned to restrain vertical displacement of the structure, and a plurality of generally horizontally extending members which interconnect the lower end of the structure with the anchoring device so as to restrain lateral displacement of the lower end of the structure. With this arrangement, the column-like structure behaves as a floating column pivoted to the sea bed.
