Floating and ocean-based data centers are emerging as a solution to the growing constraints of land, power, and cooling required for AI-scale computing. These innovative facilities can be situated closer to coastal infrastructure, leveraging water-based cooling and proximity to power grids and submarine cables. This approach is particularly attractive in densely populated coastal areas like Singapore, where land is scarce and demand for data center capacity is high. AI
