The company and its subsidiary Hitachi Systems signed a memorandum with shipping firm Mitsui OSK.
Hitachi and Mitsui OSK Lines plan to convert a car carrier into a floating data center.
KEY POINTS
- The floating data center could be operational as early as 2027.
- Ship conversion for data center use may take about one year, much faster than land-based builds.
- Seawater cooling will be used, requiring new engineering for corrosion, filtration, and heat exchange.
- Existing ship systems like air conditioning and power may be reused to lower conversion costs.
