Floating data centers set to power AI boom with offshore innovation
Karpowership, a Turkish company known for its floating power plants, is entering the AI infrastructure space by building waterborne data centers. The firm aims to address the surging energy and computing demands of AI by placing data centers on ships, which can be deployed faster and more flexibly than onshore facilities. These floating hubs will combine power generation and data processing, offering rapid scalability and proximity to major coastal urban centers.
As AI workloads grow exponentially, maritime data centers could reshape how and where computation happens — merging energy and IT infrastructure in a novel, mobile format.
