Hunter Group, Nautilus Labs, KONGSBERG, DNV GL and OSM joined forces to focus on Hunter's vessel operational excellence by achieving a greener supply chain operation, and fleet optimization.

Norwegian Kongsberg Maritime and Massterly -a joint venture between Kongsberg and Wilhelmsen- have signed with the Norwegian grocery distributor ASKO to equip two new vessels with autonomous technology, and to manage their operations at sea. The fully electric ships will replace 2 million km of truck transport, saving 5,000 tonnes of CO2 every year.

Kongsberg Digital along with the Norwegian Sea Rescue Society (NSRS), shake their hands and agreed a deal so as to deliver a new K-Sim Safety Advanced Fire Fighting Simulator (AFFS) to be installed at the NSRS's Horten-based training center in Norway.

Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) agreed to acquire Hydroid, a provider of advanced marine robotics, wholly owned by Kongsberg Maritime. HII and Kongsberg Maritime will also establish a strategic alliance to jointly market naval and maritime products and services.

The European research program "Horizon 2020" funded 20.1 million euros to the Norwegian consortium led by Kongsberg and SINTEF, for its autonomous ships project, one of the largest grands the Norwegian players ever receive.

Kongsberg Maritime is collaborating with the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue for the development of a new and innovative maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) technologies, to ensure that people who are missing at sea are found faster.

Kongsberg Digital signed an agreement to digitalize the Nyhamna facility, a gas processing and export hub for Ormen Lange and other fields connected to the Polarled pipeline. A/S Norske Shell will enter the partnership as operator of Ormen Lange and on behalf of Gassco as the operator of Nyhamna.

Kongsberg and MAN Energy Solutions signed a Memorandum of Understanding in September, aiming to explore the potential for cooperation on a common data infrastructure for the maritime sector. The collaboration aspires to widen the value offering to vessel operators, improve return on investment in digital solutions and increase the adoption of secure connectivity.

Fujitsu and Kongsberg Digital have collaborated to tackle GHG emissions, using an AI Fuel Optimization Service. Namely, the new digital web service will allow shipping companies to reduce fuel costs for large ships and comply with new low sulphur fuel regulations, without needing complex ship re-engineering or major expenditure by ship owners and operators.

During Nor-Shipping this week, Kongsberg will reveil Vessel Insight, a subscription-based service to address the key challenges for digital adoption in the maritime industry. Vessel Insight’s data infrastructure aspires to help ship owners, managers and operators unlock the value of their data.
