Five to six million TEU per year. ULCV-ready. Sixty-year asset life. Delivered in under five years.
DNV Approval in Principle issued 2023.
PERFORMANCE
Built for the largest vessels afloat
ULCV-ready berth and cranes.
Modular concrete platform.
From shipyard to operation.
Per DNV Approval in Principle.
THE CHALLENGE
Existing ports cannot service the world's largest vessels
Fewer than 80 deep-water ports handle ULCVs today. Building a new conventional terminal takes 15 to 20 years. Dredging destroys coastlines.
Capacity shortfall
Global ULCV throughput needs 5 to 6 million TEU per year of new capacity within five years. Conventional terminals cannot deliver on that timeline.
Environmental cost
Deepening harbours requires dredging at scale. Sediment plumes damage fisheries, reefs, and tidal flows for decades.
Regulatory tightening
EU and Asia-Pacific authorities are restricting new dredge permits. Many planned terminals will never break ground.
A modular offshore terminal, built in a yard, delivered ready
The Sea Technology Floating Terminal is a modular concrete platform engineered to handle the world's largest container ships. Built in a shipyard, towed to position, and anchored. No dredging. No coastal disruption.
Each platform handles 5 to 6 million TEU per year and is configured for container, RoRo, or hybrid cargo. The structure carries up to 1 million tons and operates in waters up to 1,000 metres deep.
CAPABILITIES
Engineered for sixty years of service
Five core capabilities that make the STFT a credible answer to ULCV-era port capacity.
Modular construction
Yard-built sections assembled at sea. Predictable schedule, cost, and quality from established shipbuilders.
Clean power supply
Onboard or grid-tied clean energy. Eliminates diesel-genset emissions at the quayside.
RoRo and container hybrid
Configure for car carriers and Floating Nuclear Power Plant service. One platform, multiple revenue streams.
DNV Approval in Principle
Issued 2023, scoped for sixty-year asset life. Independent verification of structural and operational design.
Floating port for any depth
Operates in water up to 1,000 metres deep. Sites previously off-limits become viable terminals.

Frequently asked
The questions port authorities and terminal operators ask first. Reach out for the long answer.
Yard construction plus tow and commissioning runs under five years. Conventional dredged terminals typically take fifteen to twenty.
