The present invention relates to a floating column enabling the anchoring of a floating support. This floating anchoring column 14 comprises a shaft 2 and a float 10 securely fastened to the said shaft 2 and is characterised in that it has in combination a ratio P1 or slenderness ratio greater than 10, the ratio P1 being equal to the quotient of the total height of the shaft H over the mean diameter d of the shaft, this mean diameter being defined as the diameter of the cylinder of the same volume and same total height as the said shaft, and a ratio P2 greater than 2, the ratio P2 being equal to the quotient of the mean diameter D of the float 10 over the mean diameter d of the shaft, the mean diameter D of the float being defined as the diameter of the cylinder of the same volume and of the same total height as the said float. The present invention may be used for anchoring a tanker. <IMAGE>
