<p>There is provided a guide (14) for a buoyancy can (12) on a floating offshore platform. The platform includes at least one support structure adjacent the buoyancy can (12). The guide (14) comprises at least one compression pad (18) supported by the support structure (16) and adjacent the exterior surface of the buoyancy can (12). Lateral movement of the buoyancy can (12) toward the support structure (16) compresses the compression pad (18) so as to absorb the force generated by the buoyancy can (12) movement, and so as to protect the buoyancy can (12) and components of the floating offshore platform from damage.</p> |
