Serenity focuses on floating AI data centers: Samsung Heavy Industries aims for commercial use by 2028, free seawater cooling solves power and land bottlenecks

BlockBeats News, July 4 - Serenity stated that floating AI data centers and ocean computing are already a reality. The core advantage lies in utilizing natural seawater cooling to significantly save electricity, and it is particularly friendly to regions with limited land resources, similar to the concept of "orbital computing." Samsung Heavy Industries plans to launch the first commercial floating AI data center in 2028, with a scale of approximately 50MW. Singapore's Keppel is also advancing similar projects, expected to become operational in the same year.

Serenity also stated that Microsoft had previously explored submerged data centers, named Project Natick, but it has now been terminated. This is a different concept from the currently discussed data centers floating on the sea surface. This addresses two major pain points of AI infrastructure: electricity and cooling. Moreover, the modular and mobile characteristics naturally suit land-scarce regions.
