This paper presents the outline onSFT up to the present day. First, the interesting features of SFT are described. Second, thedevelopments of SFT in Italy, Spain and Norway are briefly discussed. Third, some backgroundand imformation on SFT carried out by the Society of Submerged Floating Tunnel Technology Re-search in Hokkaido are given to some extent, including case examples.
