According to their website, it's primarily used to study ocean waves, circulation, heat exchange, and noise. This platform is stable and very quiet unlike normal ships.

I'm so glad that 25% of the video is ads for other videos. :/

Thanks for sharing, a pretty amazing piece of engineering. Would love to hear more about the incentive for building it and the information it collects.

[@Frogger0neXx]

Wow. Pretty awsome. What is it use for, though? Just for measuring the sea?
