kongsbergmaritime.com

Scoped entry: covers only Kongsberg Maritime's vessel-autonomy program (REACH REMOTE USVs, Yara Birkeland and ASKO autonomy deliveries, Massterly remote operations). Parent-wide marine-equipment business is not tracked. HUGIN AUVs belong to Kongsberg Discovery (Kongsberg Gruppen), a separate comp...

Kongsberg Maritime delivers the full autonomy stack for uncrewed and autonomous commercial vessels: sensor fusion and situational awareness, collision avoidance, autonomous navigation and thruster control, auto-docking, electrical propulsion and energy storage, and shore-based remote command via Massterly's Remote Operations Centre in Horten (Massterly is its 50/50 JV with Wilhelmsen). For the REACH REMOTE USVs it acts as prime contractor and vessel designer (UT5208 design): design, supply chain, systems integration, commissioning and yard delivery of DNV-classed 24 m uncrewed survey vessels operated with no crew aboard. It supplied the complete enabling technology for Yara Birkeland (sensors, remote/autonomous operations integration, electric propulsion, battery and control systems) and the autonomy and zero-emission technology for ASKO's two 67 m autonomous Ro-Ro freight ferries.
