Abstract
In this paper the global strength analysis of semi submersible platform during dry towing is achieved, and the outrigger structure added at 2 broadsides of semi submersible and the camber of supporting cribbing are designed and optimized based on the yielding and buckling analysis of the platform. Besides, some reinforcements are added inside the column and pontoon of semi submersible platform based on the analysis result. The global strength of the semi submersible platform during transportation is satisfied finally.
