Naval auxiliary vessel

Precision handling, faster loading, longer range

We offer key engineering and services that give auxiliary vessels longer range and better operations. Our Replenishment-at-Sea (RAS) systems are electrically powered, for improved speed of deployment and delivery. Our Dynamic Positioning systems and information management systems ensure reliable, pinpoint station-keeping in adverse weather thanks to highly advanced DP algorithms. We already provide such products and services to top tier navies.  

Powering performance with proven advantages:

  • High-speed RAS systems used by blue water navies
  • Integrated propulsion solutions for greater range and efficiency
  • World-class dynamic positioning systems  
  • Experience with global navies and naval support 

Integrated solutions for naval auxiliary vessels:

Our scope of supply ensures fast, fuel-efficient operations that extend range and capacity.

Lifecycle support

  • 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. 

  • 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. 

  • 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.
