The maritime industry is undergoing a significant transition towards renewable fuels and improved operational energy utilization. Decarbonization and digitalization are key to this. Kongsberg, through both Kongsberg Digital and Kongsberg Maritime, has made substantial investments to support our customers and partners in this transition.
“By consolidating our digital maritime initiatives within Kongsberg Maritime’s integrated portfolio of solutions, we are optimizing our approach to this transition and reaffirming our goal of being a frontrunner in the decarbonization and digitalization of the maritime industry,” stated Geir Håøy, President and CEO of Kongsberg.
The business to be transferred represented revenues of approx. MNOK 600 in 2023. The transfer involves approximately 500 employees located in 14 countries. These employees will be transferred from Kongsberg Digital to Kongsberg Maritime upon completion of the transaction.
Market-Focused Approach
“By transferring maritime operations to Kongsberg Maritime, Kongsberg Digital will use the proceeds to focus relentlessly on advancing our digital twin, energy simulations, SiteCom, and our subsidiary FutureOn. In all these areas, we have built a solid customer base and a leading market position. Going forward, we will, in particular, focus on developing our industrial work surface solutions to further support multiple industries. This strategic move is encouraged and supported by the Kongsberg Digital Board of Directors,” said Thomas Borgen, Chairman of Kongsberg Digital.
