This page is about connections between seasteads. They are an interesting feature from many perspectives.
Logistics
On might argue that for small scale seasteads, they are a logistical necessity. When on a big seastead with hundereds of inhabitants, one might stay on the same seastead for days on end. But when living on a seastead which is either an independent house, or a few of them, getting out of the house is likely to be something youd want to do multiple times a day. Transferring between vessels in the open ocean is hard to impossible, depending on the weather outside link. Getting groceries or visiting your neighbors is quite an ordeal if it involves twice boarding and twice docking your ferry boat; and it is not at all obvious what kind of ferry would survive being docked outside a harbor. Having a permanent system of walkways between seasteads is thus almost a logistical necessity.
Relative positioning
If relative positioning is taken care of by weak propulsion, danger of collision in storm
Roll suppression
A lot
Heave Supression
Not much
