Our purpose: Shaping the Maritime Future

Maritime transport moves over 80% of global trade — and at Kongsberg Maritime, we believe the oceans hold the key to a sustainable future. With innovation as our compass and sustainability as our anchor, we pioneer technology that protects people and planet.

Who we are

We are more than a technology provider — we are trusted partners navigating one of humanity’s most crucial frontiers: the oceans. Operating in 34 countries with 7,200 passionate experts, we blend maritime heritage with pioneering digital solutions.

Today, one in three vessels worldwide sails with our technology onboard. Our Mission: To transform maritime operations through world-leading technology, innovation, and collaboration — supporting our customers through the energy transition and digital revolution.
