A floater (100, Fig 2), for carrying electrical distribution equipment, comprises a hull (101, Fig 2) having a plurality of ballast tanks 10a-d. Each ballast tank has a ballast water pipe 11a-d and a vent pipe 12a-d fluidly connected thereto. The ballast water pipes are interconnected such as to permit ballast water to be moved from each one of the plurality of ballast tanks to another one of the plurality of ballast tanks. The vent pipes are also interconnected such as to permit gas to be moved from each one of the plurality of ballast tanks to another one of the plurality of ballast tanks. The ballast tanks, ballast water pipes and vent pipes are fluidly interconnected and define a closed ballast volume.
