Empowering a sustainable future for the world’s oceans

Our oceans, our future

Maritime transport carries over 80% of global trade and is responsible for around 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions annually. The industry is at a crossroads, with the IMO 2050 target of net zero emissions fast approaching.

We believe in action—not just ambition. We are a trusted guide for maritime organisations navigating the energy transition, pioneering sustainable solutions that secure, optimise, and decarbonise maritime operations.

Your trusted partner for a cleaner, smarter, safer maritime industry

With technologies installed on a third of the world’s fleet, we offer an unparalleled combination of domain knowledge, digital innovation, and sustainability leadership.

We are driving change in two key areas:

  • Decarbonisation: Solutions to reduce, eliminate, and manage emissions.
  • Digitalisation: Smart technologies that optimise operations, safety, and efficiency.

Greenhouse gas emissions from shipping must be zero by 2050. Kongsberg Maritime is committed to making this possible—today, tomorrow, and into the future—through zero-emission solutions where feasible, and efficiency improvements where needed.
