Why Data Centres Are Moving Offshore: Land, Grid & Community Constraints
The Floating Data Centres programme at World Offshore Week brings together data centre operators, hyperscalers, developers, shipyards, floating power providers, utilities, ports, investors, regulators, and the wider offshore digital infrastructure value chain to accelerate the growth of one of the world's fastest evolving infrastructure sectors.
Designed to foster collaboration and unlock new business opportunities, the programme connects the industry's key decision makers to share insights, forge partnerships, and shape the future of data centres at sea.
With AI-driven demand accelerating and onshore sites constrained by land, grid capacity, and community concerns, operators and developers are looking offshore. From the first operating floating data centre in California to shipyard designs now approved in Singapore, Korea and the United States, projects are advancing designs, securing power and connectivity, and addressing the challenges of permitting, insurance, and financing.

Agenda at a Glance
Why Data Centres Are Moving Offshore
Lessons from the Pioneers
Discuss what the first floating data centres and shipyard-built designs have taught the industry, from cooling and connectivity to design approvals. Learn from case studies of projects in operation and in delivery, and what worked, what stalled, and what to copy or avoid.
Powering the Floating Data Centre
Get in touch first hand with the options for powering data centres at sea, from powerships and LNG-to-power to wave, solar and marine nuclear. Examine how power, cooling, and subsea cables combine to meet the reliability that customers demand.
Permitting, Insurance & Financing the First Commercial Projects
The programme involves regulators, classification societies, insurers, and investors who will decide whether floating data centres scale. Understand permitting and community acceptance, how to insure an asset that is both a vessel and a data centre, and what lenders need to see.
