Abstract
A float for the intermediate storage at sea of crude oil, liquefied gas and the like, is formed of a toroidal body of revolution having a vertical axis. The toroidal body consists of a bottom plate in a form of a shallow annular shaped dish closed across its top by a circular cover plate. Partitions divide the interior of the body into individual compartments. Extensions projecting radially outwardly from the circumferential pheriphery of the body form docking surfaces and can house driving engines for propelling or positioning the float.
