The present invention discloses a floating platform, wherein multiple layers of compartments are configured along the height direction of the floating platform, and the center of gravity of each layer of compartments in a full-load process and a loading and unloading process is always located on a vertical line where the whole center of gravity of the floating platform is located; the multiple annular compartments are of equal-ratio subdivision in volume: the volume ratio of every two adjacent upper and lower annular compartments is inversely proportional to the density of liquid stored in the compartments; in the practical loading process, the floating platform is always kept at a constant displacement to maintain the waterplane unchanged by adjusting crude oil or seawater loaded in different layers of compartments, and thus the floating plate always has optimal hydrodynamic performance.

Floating platform and method of floating state keeping and stability control during loading and unloading process

A butt joint octagonal frustum type floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) system, wherein a floating body is provided with an upper structural body in an octagonal frustum shape and a lower structural body in a regular octagonal frustum shape; in a combined state, a smaller bottom surface of the upper structural body is fixedly connected with a smaller bottom surface of the lower structural body, to form a junction surface; the axis of the upper structural body and the axis of the lower structural body are positioned on the same straight line; the larger bottom of the upper structural body acts as an upper deck of the floating structure and the larger bottom of the lower structural body acts as a lower plate underwater of the floating structure; the junction surface is a full-load waterplane of the floating structure.
