Abstract: A floating breakwater structure is described. The structure includes a floating platform disposed at a water surface and a mooring system. The floating platform has one long side for facing a shore and another long side for facing a sea-horizon. The mooring system includes at least one pair of side anchors located on the seabed at one long side of the buoyancy platform, and at least one another pair of side anchors located on the seabed at the other long side of the floating platform. The mooring system also includes at least two pairs of crossing mooring spring-lines linked at one end to the floating platform. Each pair of the crossing mooring spring-lines is linked at one end to the corresponding long side of the of the floating platform and at another end to the corresponding pair of the side anchors.

Abstract: A floating structure is described. The floating structure includes a floating platform disposed at a water surface, a mooring system and a damping system. The mooring system is configured for mooring one side of the floating platform to a sea floor, thereby to permit rotation of the floating structure and to provide a desired orientation down-wind with respect to an anchor point. The damping system is arranged at one side of the floating platform and is configured for absorbing wave energy and stresses imparted by the motion of waves in order to stabilize a horizontal position of the floating structure down-wind during a storm against the waves.
