The paper considers the effect on water resistance of the movement of a semi-submersible floating crane model on quiet deep water in working and transport positions and different heading angles. The research was conducted in the experimental pool of Sevastopol State University. The performed towing tests of the model made it possible to plot the dependence of the coefficient of impedance on the Froude number. Each of the presented graphs refers to a certain horizontal clearance and heading angle
