Kongsberg and DNV GL share data

Kongsberg and DNV GL are looking to reduce the time, cost and complexity associated with class and assurance services for the maritime sector by cooperating on new digital solutions. Kongsberg’s data infrastructure solution for the maritime sector, Vessel Insight, will be used to collect and transfer data which will enable DNV GL to perform digital class and assurance services.

“We believe that broad maritime digitalisation and the value generation for ship owners will be achieved much faster if expert vendors work together to solve industry challenges,” explained Hege Skryseth, president of Kongsberg Digital and executive vice president of Kongsberg.

“By combining DNV GL’s unique expertise in digital class and assurance solutions and Kongsberg’s data infrastructure specifically developed for the maritime sector, we are putting together necessary pieces of a puzzle,” she added.

“Currently, most class inspections require the surveyors to be on board the ship,” added Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, chief executive of DNV GL – Maritime. “However, we can now perform some surveys by analysing digitally obtained data on shore. This will help customers not only to reduce their costs, but streamline their daily operation,” he said.
