Strategic advisory for maritime decarbonisation
Kongsberg Maritime combines deep maritime domain knowledge, regulatory insight, and operational energy‑efficiency expertise to help you build a confident, data‑driven decarbonisation strategy. Our advisory is grounded in real vessel performance, proven modelling tools, and an understanding of how different fuels and hybrid energy solutions influence emissions, cost, and operability.
What this service helps you do
- Evaluate alternative fuel pathways and retrofit options
- Quantify emissions, compliance trajectories, and financial impact
- Build fleet‑wide strategies aligned with CII, EEXI, FuelEU Maritime, and ETS
- Make investment decisions grounded in real operational data — not assumptions
Expert guidance - real world impact
We support shipowners and operators in evaluating technical choices — from combustion technologies and energy storage to next‑generation power systems — and estimating CAPEX, OPEX, and lifecycle implications based on your operational profile. Instead of relying on assumptions, we provide clear, transparent analysis that helps you select energy solutions ready for both today’s requirements and tomorrow’s regulations.
From regulatory complexity to confident fleet decisions
Navigating the shift toward low‑ and zero‑emission operations requires decisions that extend far beyond fuel choice. Today’s vessels operate within increasingly complex hybrid energy architectures — combining combustion engines, shaft generators, auxiliary generators, fuel cells, wind‑assisted propulsion (WAPS), and advanced energy‑storage systems.
Selecting the right combination of fuel and hybrid energy system is essential to future‑proofing your fleet. Our advisory helps you understand how each technology pathway affects emissions, energy efficiency, redundancy, and total cost of ownership. Using advanced scenario modelling, we compare technical configurations, assess how they position your fleet for upcoming IMO and EU rules, and evaluate how each solution performs in real operating conditions.
What sets Kongsberg Maritime apart is our expertise in hybrid and intelligent energy management. We translate complex technical considerations into clear, actionable insights — giving you confidence in choosing an energy solution that aligns with your long‑term strategic, regulatory, and operational goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about maritime decarbonisation, hybrid systems, or digital ship solutions? Our FAQs cover key topics to help you make informed, future-ready decisions.
It’s a data-driven consultancy that helps maritime stakeholders plan and execute decarbonisation strategies. We combine technical expertise, regulatory insight, and advanced modelling to guide confident decision-making.
We use the Decarbonisation Modelling Suite (DMS), CII & ETS scenario planners, and fuel pathway comparison models to evaluate OPEX, ROI, emissions forecasts, and compliance trajectories.
Yes. Our fuel-agnostic advisory compares options like methanol, ammonia, LNG, hydrogen, and biofuels - helping you understand trade-offs and align choices with your operational goals.
We provide forward-looking insights into CII, EEXI, FuelEU Maritime, and ETS regulations, helping you stay ahead of evolving requirements and avoid stranded assets.
Absolutely. We don’t push specific technologies. Our recommendations are based on your fleet’s needs, risk profile, and operational region.
Yes. We segment strategies by vessel class, age, and mission - so you can scale upgrades logically and cost-effectively.
We integrate real-world data from K-Chief, K-Power, and Vessel Insight systems to ensure your strategy is grounded in operational reality - not assumptions.
