floating platform
Buoyant standing surface
A floating platform is a buoyant structure designed to support weight on water.
These range from simple docks and swim platforms to massive offshore oil rigs and floating solar arrays.
The key feature is that the platform rides on the water's surface rather than being anchored to the bottom: The concert stage was built on a floating platform in the harbor.
