The paper seeks to apply the methodology of matched asymptotic expansions to obtain analytical solutions for hydrodynamic properties of a circular cylindrical platform (truncated circular cylinder) in extremely shallow water. By matching potentials of the fluid flows outside and under the cylinder bottom with the inner flow near its edge the radiation problems are solved for heave, surge and pitch motions. Closed asymptotic formulae are derived for all hydrodynamic coefficients of the floating cylinder, which include the first-order terms in the gap height. The formulae are discussed and shown to compare well with numerical results published in literature.
