Kongsberg has announced plans to reshuffle its portfolio of businesses and move all maritime-focused operations currently carried out by its Kongsberg Digital division over to its Kongsberg Maritime unit, as of Q1 2025.
The business being transferred represented revenues of approximately 600 million NOK (US$52.6 million) in 2023. Some 500 employees located in 14 countries will be transferred from Kongsberg Digital to Kongsberg Maritime upon completion of the transaction.
The move has been driven in part by the ongoing maritime industry transition towards renewable fuels and improved operational energy utilisation, with both Kongsberg Digital and Kongsberg Maritime having made substantial investments to support customers and partners in this area.
“By consolidating our digital maritime initiatives within Kongsberg Maritime’s integrated portfolio of solutions, we are optimising our approach to this transition and reaffirming our goal of being a frontrunner in the decarbonisation and digitalisation of the maritime industry,” explained Geir Håøy, President and CEO of Kongsberg.
“The combined digital capabilities of Kongsberg Maritime and Kongsberg Digital, along with Kongsberg Maritime’s broader offerings, have positioned Kongsberg as a frontrunner in the maritime transition. By implementing this change, we are placing a cleaner market-focused approach at both Kongsberg Digital and Kongsberg Maritime’s operations.”
