A floating wind turbine platform 200 includes a floatable structure having multiple semisubmersible columns 202, 204, 206. The semisubmersible columns may be interconnected by pontoons 210, which are adapted to contain a ballast. The floating wind turbine platform further includes a ballast distribution system (300, Fig 3) having a sensor (302, Fig 3) that is usable to detect an inclination of the floatable structure in a body of water. The ballast distribution system can balance the floatable structure in response to a signal from the sensor by operating a pump 214 to distribute the ballast within the pontoons. Distributing the ballast within the pontoons may include selectively adjusting a position of the ballast contained within the internal volume of at least one of the pontoons or transferring at least some of the ballast between the internal volumes of the pontoons. A method of balancing a floating platform and a ballast distribution system for a floating platform are also disclosed.
