The submersible platforms have been developed from earlier submersible barges which were used in shallow inlet drilling along the United States Gulf Coast. The platforms are towed to location and then submerged to the sea bottom. They are very stable and can operate in areas with soft sea floors. Difficulty in towing is a disadvantage, but this is partially offset by the rapidity with which they can be raised or lowered, once on location. 3, record 1, English, - submersible%20platform
