Strategic advisory for maritime decarbonisation

Expert guidance - real world impact

Strategic 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

Aligning operations with sustainability goals

CII & ETS scenario planners Decarbonisation Modelling Suite (DMS) Fuel pathway comparison models
(methanol, ammonia, LNG, H₂, biofuels)
K-Chief, K-Power and Vessel Insight system data inputs

We power your strategy with real operational and technical insight - not guesswork. 

How we deliver confidence

  1. Scenario modelling: Our Decarbonisation Modelling Suite (DMS) evaluates OPEX, fuel cost curves, retrofit ROI, and emissions forecasts across multiple fuel and technology pathways - supporting your IMO compliance roadmap.
  2. Lifecycle cost clarity: Customised economic models balance CAPEX, fuel shifts, downtime, and compliance payback - prioritising what moves the needle for your fleet.
  3. Fleet-wide roadmaps: Segmented strategies by vessel class, age and mission to help you scale upgrades logically.
  4. Independent, fuel-agnostic advisory: We recommend solutions aligned to your goals, risk profile, and operational region - without pushing specific technologies.
