Abstract

Semi-submersible platform comprised particularly of semi-immersed columns and totally immersed elongate elements or pontoons (4) having a substantially horizontal axis, at least some of them having porous walls, the porosity being obtained by a large number of small holes in said walls. The porosity degree, in other words the ratio between the total surface of the holes and the total surface of the walls is preferably at the most equal to 30 %.
