Abstract

In its primary aspect, the present invention is directed towards a novel floating structure, the floating structure including an upper bearing structure, and a floating support for the bearing structure, characterised in that the floating structure is configured to receive stabilisation means which is retained substantially below the bearing structure. In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the floating structure is a floating access way for use in a marina. In other embodiments of the present invention, the floating structure may be breakwaters or wave attenuators. Methods of constructing the floating structure are also claimed.
