“This is a defining moment for Kongsberg Maritime,” said Lisa Edvardsen Haugan, CEO of Kongsberg Maritime ASA. “We will write a new book in a company built on more than 200 years of innovation. On behalf of all my colleagues, I can clearly say that we are ready to write the first chapter.”

With operations in 35 countries and more than 8,300 employees worldwide, Kongsberg Maritime combines deep domain expertise with advanced technology and a strong customer base across the global merchant fleet, offshore, fisheries, and naval markets.

“Our strength lies in our proximity to customers, our understanding of maritime operations, and our ability to translate technology into real value at sea,” Haugan said. “As a standalone company, we can sharpen our focus, move faster, and accelerate our growth in key markets.”

The maritime industry is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by digitalization, efficiency demands, and the transition to more sustainable operations. Kongsberg Maritime is well-positioned to support customers through this shift, with solutions deployed on more than 30,000 vessels worldwide—representing approximately one-third of the global fleet.

“We see strong and lasting demand for solutions that improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability,” Haugan said. “Our ambition is clear: to be a leading technology partner to the global maritime industry and to drive innovation that makes a real difference for our customers.”

With a solid order backlog, strong market positions, and a clear strategic direction, Kongsberg Maritime enters the public markets from a position of strength.

“This milestone is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our people around the world,” Haugan added. “Together with our customers and partners, we look forward to continuing to push the boundaries of what is possible at sea.”
