Abstract
The present invention relates to a floating mounting () which includes ballasting means () in order to vary the draught of the floating mounting. The floating mounting () according to the invention has a depth-variable horizontal cross-section, such that the second moment of area of the cross-section of the floating mounting, at the buoyancy surface (Sd), is higher when the floating mounting is deballasted, compared with the second moment of area of the buoyancy surface of the floating mounting, at the buoyancy surface (Sb), when the floating mounting is ballasted.
