The present invention a buoyant actuator (11) for use in a system which converts wave motion to energy. The buoyant actuator (11) comprises a body (19) which presents an exterior surface. The body (19) provides at least one first tank (23) and at least one second tank (25), whereby an upper portion (21) of the body (19) is located above a fluid surface (12) of a fluid body (13) when the buoyant actuator is in a transportation position. When in the transportation position a volume of each of the at least one first tank (23) and the at least one second tank (25) above a waterline (112) of the buoyant actuator (11) is substantially empty.
