Samsung to introduce its first floating data centers in 2028

Samsung plans to launch its first floating data centers in the second quarter of 2028. Through this innovative project, the company aims to start a new phase in the field of data storage and processing.

Datacenter Dynamics reports that Samsung Heavy Industries is already actively working on several promising projects. The company expects to receive initial orders for the construction of such floating data centers in the near future.

To implement this initiative, Samsung Heavy Industries signed a memorandum of understanding with Greece's Capital shipping company and the United Kingdom's Lloyd's Register classification society. Under the partnership agreement, Samsung will develop the technological platform. Capital will handle project management and investor relations. Lloyd's Register will assist in coordinating with regulatory bodies and ensuring technical compliance.

International cooperation and innovative solutions

Furthermore, in May of this year, Samsung Heavy Industries signed a cooperation agreement with the US-based Mousterian Corporation (M3) . This agreement focuses on the joint development of industrial-scale floating data centers. It is noted that M3 founders previously participated in the development of the Nautilus floating data center project.

Currently, many global technology companies are showing great interest in floating infrastructure projects. Experts believe that due to the shrinking availability and rising costs of land, such facilities could become a more cost-effective and efficient solution compared to traditional data centers in the future.
