Strategic advisory for maritime decarbonisation
Expert guidance - real world impactStrategic Advisory
Kongsberg Maritime brings technical depth, regulatory insight, and proven modelling tools to help operators plan and execute fleet-wide decarbonisation strategies - cost-effectively and with confidence. Our collaborations with fuel suppliers, technology providers and research institutions keep us at the forefront of developments and best placed to support your needs.
Complexity to clarity
In a fragmented regulatory and fuel landscape, we help you move from complexity to confident action.
Choosing the right fuel, retrofit, or vessel design is more complex - and consequential - than ever. With shifting IMO and EU regulations, carbon pricing, and investor pressure, poor decisions risk stranded assets and lost competitiveness.
That’s where we come in. Our strategic advisory combines deep maritime engineering expertise with real-world data to help you make confident, cost-effective decisions - turning uncertainty into a clear, actionable decarbonisation strategy.
What we deliver
We combine deep maritime expertise with advanced modelling tools to help you:
- Evaluate fuel options and vessel configurations
- Quantify emissions and compliance trajectories
- Build future-ready investment strategies
