Proposed is a floating platform structure for use on the surface of the ocean in equatorial regions where a strong eastward Cromwell current exists below the westward surface current. In the present invention, the forces developed by these two opposite currents are used for maintaining the floating structure in a stable geographical position that may be important, e.g., for launching a satellite-carrying rocket. The structure contains a rigid three-dimensional frame, which is immersed to the depth of the Cromwell current and carries floating bodies that experience the effect of the Cromwell current for counterbalancing the dragging force applied to the structure in the opposite direction from the surface current. Vertical positions of the floating bodies are adjustable by a mechanism, the operation of which is controlled on the basis of signals obtained from GPS, which locates the geographical position of the floating structure.
