A multi-column tension leg platform is an offshore floating structure that is used to facilitate production of natural resources contained below the seabed. The multi-column tension leg platform includes a hull which is used to keep the entire structure afloat. The structure also includes a topside which is mounted to the top of the hull. The topside is used as a surface for supporting workers and equipment. The hull is made up of a plurality of flotation columns and a plurality of pontoons. Both the plurality of flotation columns and the plurality of pontoons are positioned about a vertical central axis of the topside. The plurality of flotation columns and the plurality of pontoons are buoyant structures that are aligned vertically and are used to keep the topside above water. The plurality of pontoons is mounted amongst the plurality of flotation columns.
