The market is broad – and covers deliveries to advanced offshore and research vessels, naval vessels, merchant ships, passenger vessels and large fishing vessels, as well as offshore installations for the aquaculture, oil and gas, and wind power sectors.

Kongsberg Maritime plays a key role in environmentally friendly shipping and other sustainable operations in the maritime industry and attracts customers and partners from all over the world. 

Experience and new skills

Kongsberg Maritime has a long history of innovation. Since the 1800s, Kongsberg Maritime has been delivering technology to ensure a safer and more profitable marine economy. By developing new propellers, a more precise navigation system, or autonomous solutions, we have over several decades created technology and more efficient solutions that yield positive results for the company. Today, our driving force is still technology development, new ideas and solutions that create growth for the company. Climate change has provided additional motivation and we are now working towards delivering the technology that can lead to a carbon-neutral maritime economy.

For that reason, we need new knowledge, new insight and forward looking partners. We are therefore proud that we are one of the most attractive employers for young people in Norway today, both for engineers and IT students. We have several research collaborations with Norwegian and international actors, while our customers challenge us to come up with new technology and sustainable solutions.

EU and IMO requirements

New requirements from the EU and IMO (International Maritime Organization), together with the maritime industry’s own desire for more environmentally friendly solutions, constituted an important driver for the strong order intake in the aftermarket segment in 2023. These orders related to expedition ships, advanced offshore vessels, ferries, Ro-Ro ships and naval vessels, among others.

With Kongsberg Maritime's expertise and solutions, a number of ship owners can prepare their fleets to meet these new requirements. An increase in orders for upgrades shows that the shipping industry is willing to adapt and make green investments.

Growth and development

Kongsberg Maritime's broad product portfolio, integrated solutions and aftermarket services allow us to improve the efficiency, sustainability and safety of our customers' vessels and operations in a holistic way, increasing our partner value.
