Mitsui OSK Lines plans to convert a ship into a floating datacenter with a capacity between 20 to 73 MW. This facility will utilize seawater or river water for cooling and aims to be operational by 2027. The first unit will be based on a 120-meter vessel, with design work and agreements with port authorities underway. The facility promises mobility to adapt to demand shifts and the ability to operate while navigating. Conversion from ship to datacenter is quicker than building a conventional one, eliminating substantial land acquisition costs.
