Methods for the maintenance of a marine structure having a wind turbine and at least one essentially vertical shaft are described. The methods include the use of an auxiliary floating system having: at least one floating element that remains semisubmerged throughout the process of maintaining the marine structure; at least one coupling structure that connects the system to the floating structure; and contact elements and tightening elements, wherein the contact and tightening elements are secured to the coupling structure and are intended to solidly connect the system to the shaft. Advantageously, this solid connection allows operations for the maintenance of the marine structure to be carried out in a manner that is efficient and safe for maintenance workers and for the systems involved in the operations.
