Abstract:
The present invention relates broadly to a floating structure and more particular to a floating structure formed by a plurality of modular floating units, a method for forming a floating structure, and a method for stabilizing a plurality of modular floating units line abreast. The method for forming a floating structure comprises providing a plurality of modular floating units including three of more tunnel thrusters; aligning the plurality of modular floating units wherein each of the three or more tunnel thrusters of each of the plurality of modular floating units are aligned to each of a corresponding three or more tunnel thrusters on an adjacent modular floating unit; and operating at least one of the three or more tunnel thrusters of each of the plurality of modular floating units to generate at least one horizontal pillar of water flow, wherein the at least one horizontal pillar of water flow skewers each of the plurality of modular floating units longitudinally through one of the three or more tunnel thrusters thereof.

Claim (Index 31):
The floating structure as recited in  claim 27 , further comprising:\n another pair of tunnel thrusters of the floating unit and the other floating unit, wherein:\n the other pair of tunnel thrusters is configured to generate another pillar of water flow that flows along another longitudinal axis shared by the other pair of tunnel thrusters, through the floating unit and the other floating unit.
