Abstract

A method and apparatus for transporting and launching an offshore tower. The apparatus according to the invention comprises a watertight buoyancy means for supporting an offshore tower in a generally horizontal transporting posture substantially above the surface of the body of water and subsequently controllably righting the offshore tower onto the bed of the body of water at a preselected marine site. The buoyancy means is connected along the lateral extent of the offshore tower by a plurality of spaced connecting assemblies. The watertight buoyancy means is interiorly compartmented with bulkheads to facilitate buoyancy control and righting of the offshore tower within the body of water. The lowermost connecting assembly between the offshore tower and the buoyancy means consists of at least one pivotal assembly so that the buoyancy means may be controllably pivoted away from the offshore tower following a righting operation.
