Hege Skryseth, President of Kongsberg Digital, said: “Digitalization in the maritime industry increases efficiency and safety and allows for a more environmentally sustainable way of working.

“However, digitalization requires access to quality data from vessels and it’s this part of the puzzle that Vessel Insight delivers.
Vessel Insight is an infrastructure service that helps customers access structured data. This will make digitalization accessible to a wider user-base and help the maritime industry to be more sustainable in both economic and environmental terms.”
Egil Haugsdal, President of Kongsberg Maritime, also spoke: “KONGSBERG’s long history as a leading provider of automation, bridge systems, our role as system integrator and provider of advisory applications gives us a unique insight in what is required to enable maritime digitalization.
“Combining deep domain knowledge with digital expertise has enabled us to create a solution that truly can accelerate the adoption of digital solutions in the maritime sector.”
