The benefits and necessity of digitalization are becoming increasingly apparent for the world’s industrial markets. KONGSBERG is spearheading the development of maritime digitalization solutions through our cost-efficient data infrastructure solution for vessel owners and operators, Vessel Insight, adjacent digital solutions such as Vessel Performance and Remote Services, and partnerships with other large maritime vendors such as DNV GL and recently ABB. All parties focus on digital deliveries based on their unique core expertise, to enable end-to-end digitalization that brings real value to customers. The next step for KONGSBERG in this undertaking is to combine Kongsberg Digital’s Maritime Digital Solutions unit with its Maritime Simulation hub, enabling the synergies required to address a need in the market for maritime digital twins. Heading up the new maritime stronghold, Digital Ocean, is former SVP Energy, Andreas Jagtøyen.

Digitalizing the maritime industry is not a one-company job and therefore KONGSBERG is partnering up with experts externally and combining expertise internally to generate synergies. Kongsberg Digital has delivered highly realistic maritime simulation technology for decades and our experience from the energy sector has shown us how valuable simulation technology is in bringing about functional dynamic digital twins. Andreas spearheaded this work on the energy side, and now he will break new ground on the development of digital twins on the maritime side.” - says Hege Skryseth, President of Kongsberg Digital and EVP KONGSBERG.
