A floating structure comprises a buoyant member including a surrounding wall within which a pressure reservoir for storage of compressed gas is provided and a compressor for supplying compressed gas to the pressure reservoir. The compressor is a liquid piston gas compressor including two vessels for containing a liquid and a gas to be compressed above the liquid and a pump for pumping a liquid between the vessels. At least the vessels are located within the surrounding wall of the buoyant member and are provided with respective closable inlets for receiving gas from outside the buoyant member and respective closable outlets through which the vessels communicate with the pressure reservoir so as to transfer compressed gas from the vessels to the pressure reservoir under operating conditions.
