MIT founders launch Atomarine to build gas-first nuclear data centers at sea
Dimitris Koutentakis and Emile Germonpre target a gas-powered pilot by 2028, with marine reactors planned as a later swap.

Why it matters
Atomarine is trying to turn data-center development from a site-by-site grid and real-estate project into a manufactured maritime product. The gas-first pilot uses existing equipment; the nuclear claim depends on a later reactor swap.
Dimitris Koutentakis and Emile Germonpre, two MIT-trained engineers, have launched Atomarine, a Boston startup proposing data-center campuses made from floating compute barges and separate power vessels. The design is pitched as a way around the grid queues, land constraints and cooling demands holding up new AI infrastructure.…
