Vessel Insight technology will be part of a fleet of more than 100 ships after Kongsberg partners with shipowner to digitize the shipping industry
Kongsberg is a world reference in the search for digitization and adoption of new technologies in the naval industry and in the offshore sector. Now, the company has announced a closed partnership with an undisclosed shipowner for the use of its Vessel Insight technology in a fleet of more than 100 ships. In this way, vessels will benefit from the benefits of using this type of technology and will achieve much more efficiency in their operations.
Kongsberg's Vessel Insight technology builds on SaaS, which delivers ship-to-cloud data infrastructure by capturing and aggregating quality data cost-effectively and securely. Thus, the solution ensures that shipowners have much more control over the operations carried out with the fleet of ships. And, among the benefits offered by the company's technology, are instant and easy access to the fleet overview, vessel-specific dashboards and data analysis tools, essential for the best operation of these vessels.
Although the company has not yet disclosed the shipowner with which it closed the contract, Kongsberg stated that the company has a large presence in the naval industry in the production of large vessels. Thus, the new fleet of more than 100 ships will be able to use Vessel Insight to ensure more operational safety, efficient transport and much more agility in activities. The company also highlighted how this agreement serves as a reference for the shipbuilding industry to continue investing in the digitalization of its processes and to be able to use Kongsberg technologies in this trajectory,
Company highlights the importance of Vessel Insight technology for sustainability and efficiency in the naval industry and in the fleet of ships that will use the solution
In addition to announcing the partnership 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 shipbuilding industry. Thus, Vessel Insight ensures a further boost in sustainability within the shipping industry by providing companies with a wealth of information from analysis of vessel operational data.
In addition, the technology also contributes to safer control of cargo transport reports and makes the entire logistics chain even more efficient. The final point of Vessel Insight for the naval industry is the possibility of improving operations, since the technology also points out the main deficits within the fleet of ships.
Finally, Andreas Jagtøyen, Senior Vice President Digital Ocean at Kongsberg Digital, commented: “We are now seeing an industry shift for ship owners who are increasingly eager to digitize entire fleets, as data utilization is a key important 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 industry more sustainable."
