            Abstract : 
The FP7 funded TROPOS project approach is to develop a modular multi-use platform for use in deep waters, with a focus on the Mediterranean, tropical and sub-tropical regions. In this paper, three different platforms configurations, - which have been designed to show the synergies and compatibilities among the platform uses of Transport, Energy, Aquaculture and Leisure - are presented.
