Abstract

A semi-submersible vessel (10) comprises a superstructure (12), a plurality of legs (16) extending from the superstructure and a pontoon (20) rigidly connecting respective end portions of the legs disposed remote from the superstructure to form a buoyant structure. The pontoon (20) is adapted to define storage tanks for produced liquid hydrocarbons, ballast tanks (26) for receiving sea-water ballast and a ballast zone (30) for housing semi-permanent or permanent ballast having a greater density than sea water.
