Offshore drilling specialist Seatrium is pressing ahead with plans for a pilot 30MW floating data center.
The company has had its designs validated by the Bureau Veritas, an organization that classifies ships and monitors offshore safety measures around the world.
Floating data centers are enjoying a boom in popularity as developers look to the waters to avoid constraints on land.
News of Seatrium’s project comes as Y Combinator-backed startup Atomarine pitches floating data centers powered by nuclear ships, and a Scottish firm, Mocean, is raising money to fund development of its compute-at-sea venture.
