<p>An offshore platform (100) for safe transfer of personnel and goods comprises a semi-submersible frame structure (101) having a first side (102) and a second side (103)as seen in the direction of a longitudinal axis, a rotating mooring system (106) for mooring the frame structure (101) to the sea-bed at an offshore deployment site, wherein the rotating mooring system (106) allows for rotation of the frame structure (101) around a vertical axis(107) of the frame structure (101), and one or more wave absorber elements(108) attached to the frame structure (101), the one or more wave absorber elements (108) being adapted to absorb wave energy by interaction with incoming waves (200), said interaction resulting in a wave induced force acting on the frame structure (101), where in the one or more wave absorber elements(108) are arranged such with respect to the vertical axis that the combined wave induced forces provide an alignment force rotating the frame structure (101) around the vertical axis so as to drive the longitudinal axis (105) towards the direction (201) of propagation of the waves, wherein the first side faces towards the incoming waves and the second side faces away from the incoming waves. The offshore platform (100) further comprises docking means (111) for transferring personnel and/or goods between a vessel (202, 203) and the off-shore platform (100), wherein the docking means (111) are arranged on the second side (103) of the frame structure (101).</p> |
