The floating platform of the invention is intended for supporting industrial, commercial, cultural, and dwelling structures and is suitable for deployment in shallow as well as in deep waters, The platform is assembled from prefabricated hollow structural elements in such a way that the unified center of masses of the loads that consist of a plurality of arbitrarily distributed loads of different masses supported by the platform is always maintained in the same position whereby the platform is always maintained in a horizontally counterbalanced position. This is achieved by locally adjusting the buoyancy of the structural elements. Furthermore, the loads are positioned on the platform so that moments created by these loads relative to the aforementioned unified center of masses are equal. This allows maintaining the loads on the platform in equilibrium.
