Container vessel
Cutting emissions and fuel costs in container shipping
Our fully integrated solutions span bridge, propulsion, navigation, planning, reporting and maintenance systems. This secures long-term operational and overall fleet management performance. We support the transition to LNG, which provides big cuts on emissions, while allowing for a future transition to zero-carbon fuels.
Powering performance with proven advantages:
- Integrated solutions for container feeder vessels
- Integrated Navigation Systems for best route planning
- Wind-assist solutions and installation for any operational profile
- Life-cycle support services to ensure your vessel runs at best performance for longer
Integrated solutions that cut emissions:
Our holistic solutions help container vessel owners gain maximum efficiency and make the switch to LNG
How we cut emissions from carrier vessels
-
Our Power Take Off solution PTO contributed to OPEX savings of ~1.5-2% on a study we conducted on a theoretical 14,000 TEU container vessel operating an Asia-Europe route.
% -
With our future-proofed LNG dual fuel option, container vessel owners have the option of two conventional fossil fuels and four low-carbon options, including HVO and ammonia.
fuels -
Our LNG Fuel Gas Supply System offers vessel owners a reduction of up to 24% in carbon emissions, with SO2 and particulate emissions reduced to almost zero.

Hydrodynamic Research Centre
Kongsberg Maritime is the only marine engineering company with in-house hydrodynamic research and testing facilities – the Hydrodynamic Research Centre (HRC). Established in 1942, the HRC is comprised of engineers and hydrodynamicists. We uniquely combine computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and cavitation tunnel testing to deliver unmatched hydrodynamic solutions and designs that reduce fuel consumption and emissions on any vessel project, new build or refit.
Remote support
At Kongsberg Maritime, our aim is to ensure your vessel has maximum uptime without delays in getting diagnostic help. With our remote support tools, KONGSBERG-certified engineers virtually connect to your vessels’ installations and equipment to provide online diagnostic support, troubleshooting, and solutions to your personnel, in real time.
Conversions, retrofits and refit
We provide solutions for every stage of your vessel's service life to extend operational capability, improve performance, adopt green technologies, or prepare for new missions. Our global team is committed to you and your project until it is complete, on time and on budget.
