Hanwha Ocean is set to unveil its '60MW-class Floating Data Center (FDC: Floating Data Center)' on the global stage for the first time.

From the 14th, at Gastech 2026, one of the world's largest energy exhibitions held in Thailand, Hanwha Ocean will showcase its self-developed 60MW-class FDC model for the first time.

This marks the first time Hanwha Ocean has presented its FDC, a future new business initiative it is pursuing, to global customers in actual model form. Recently, due to the explosive growth of the AI industry, global demand for data centers has been rising rapidly. However, existing land-based data centers face constraints on new construction due to issues such as massive power demands, difficulties in securing sites, cooling efficiency, and local community concerns.

In particular, by applying 'Modular design,' it is possible to flexibly configure power generation and supply methods, server types, and data center capacity according to the environment of the installation site and customer requirements. Through this, the plan is to provide customized FDC solutions optimized for customers' power demands, IT infrastructure, and installation environments.

Recently, Hanwha Ocean also received recognition for technical feasibility after obtaining Basic Certification (AiP: Approval in Principle) for the conceptual design of its 60MW-class FDC from ABS, a leading global classification society.

A Hanwha Ocean official, speaking via telephone to this newspaper, stated, "Gastech 2026 is a meaningful stage where Hanwha Ocean will first present its floating data center, which it has been preparing as a future new business, to the global market. It is particularly significant in that it can offer a new solution that complements the limitations of land-based data centers."
