Mega-Float is very large artificial island floating on the sea. The technology to design, fabricate and construct Mega-Float had been developed by Technological Research Association of Mega-Float (TRAM) comprised of seventeen leading shipbuilding companies and steel companies in Japan from 1995 to 2000.

In March of 2001, the "Mega-Float Airport Investigation Committee" put together a detailed evaluation of the verification tests on the 1000m Mega-Float airport and the 4000m-class test design, and announced in their final report that a Mega-Float airport with a scale of up to 4000m is practically feasible.

The developed technology is now undertaken by Floating Structures (Mega-Float) Technology Department in Shipbuilding Research Centre of Japan (SRC).
