It is noted that the floating platform should be placed at a safe distance from any port works located or being constructed in the specific sea area, as well as from maritime hazards, especially shipwrecks, areas where tides are observed, etc. In addition, the floating platform should not impede safe navigation or be located within navigable channels and sea routes, as well as in areas where submarine cables and pipelines are laid.
