Abstract The specification describes a floating island for the extraction or processing of gas. The island is characterized in that a plurality of submerged buoyancy units are provided which are arranged in a single plane on a base plate from which columns extend to above the water surface in accordance with expected wave heights. Supported on the upper end of the columns is a platform on which is situated an apparatus for the liquification of gas. The buoyancy of the buoyancy units is made such that when the island is floating freely, more than half of the columns project above the water surface. Preferably the buoyancy units are also partially exposed. Provided on the base plate are tension elements by means of which the island can be submerged such that half of the columns lie below the water surface. The tension elements include anchors arranged on the sea bed.
