Vessel Insight Technology Will Be Part of a Fleet of Over 100 Ships After Kongsberg Closes Partnership with Shipowner for Naval Industry Digitalization

Kongsberg is a global reference in the search for digitalization and the adoption of new technologies in the naval industry and the offshore sector. Now, the company has announced a partnership closed with an undisclosed shipowner for the use of its Vessel Insight technology in a fleet of over 100 ships. Thus, the vessels will benefit from the advantages of using this type of technology and achieve much greater efficiency in their operations. 

Kongsberg’s Vessel Insight technology is based on SaaS, which provides ship-to-cloud data infrastructure by capturing and aggregating quality data in a cost-effective and secure manner. Thus, the solution ensures much greater control over operations conducted with the fleet of ships for shipowners. Among the benefits offered by the company’s technology are instant and easy access to fleet overviews, specific vessel dashboards, and data analysis tools, essential for the optimal operation of these vessels. 

Although the company has not yet disclosed the shipowner with whom it closed the contract, Kongsberg stated that the company has a strong presence in the naval industry in the production of large vessels. Thus, the new fleet of over 100 ships will be able to use Vessel Insight to ensure greater operational safety, transportation efficiency, and much more agility in activities. The company also emphasized how this agreement serves as a reference for the naval industry to continue investing in the digitalization of its processes and to utilize Kongsberg’s technologies in this journey, 

Company Highlights the Importance of Vessel Insight Technology for Sustainability and Efficiency in the Naval Industry and the Fleet of Ships That Will Use the Solution

In addition to announcing the partnership closed with the international shipowner, Kongsberg made a point of highlighting the relevance of its technology not only for this fleet of ships but also for the entire naval industry. Thus, Vessel Insight ensures a greater push for sustainability within the maritime transport sector by providing companies with various information from the analysis of operational data of the vessel.

Moreover, the technology also contributes to a safer control of cargo shipping reports and makes the entire logistics chain even more efficient. The ultimate goal of Vessel Insight for the naval industry is the possibility of improving operations, as the technology also points out the main deficits within the fleet of ships. 

And, to conclude, Andreas Jagtøyen, Senior Vice President of Digital Ocean at Kongsberg Digital, commented: “We are now seeing a shift in the sector towards shipowners becoming increasingly eager to digitalize entire fleets, as the use of data is a key element for a greener maritime sector. This contract is solid proof of how Kongsberg Digital’s technologies, including Vessel Insight, will be an important contributor to making the sector more sustainable.”
