VLFS stands for a very large floating structure. Essentially these are large (larger than the biggest ships) structures which are proposed to be built for offshore storage platforms, floating airports etc. The most famous example is the megafloat built as a prototype floating airport near Tokyo, Japan.
Other examples of megafloats include the proposed floating container terminal, Kamigoto oil storage facility at Nagasaki, and Shirasima oil storage facility at Kitakyusyu, Japan.
