Kongsberg to supply vessel insights for Locar

The deal will see Locar integrate Vessel Insight, Kongsberg Digital’s vessel-to-cloud infrastructure to give insights into their vessel performance.

The system will be rolled out initially to Marina I, a DP2 vessel slated to begin service for Petrobas early next year.

“We are very proud to partner with Kongsberg to empower our new build DP II vessel Marina I with the state-of-the-art equipment as Vessel Insight leading Locar to industry 4.0,” said Henrique Bravo, Vice President at Locar.

“Marina I will support Petrobras on offshore oil loading and discharge hoses inspections, repair and maintenance.”

Alongside Vessel Insight, Locar will install Kongsberg Maritime’s single dynamic positioning system and the information management system, K-IMS.

“Our Vessel Insight platform will make Locar’s DP2 vessel smarter by effectively using its data,” said Christopher Bergsager, vice president, Growth Global Maritime at Kongsberg Digital.

“This partnership underscores our commitment to offering digital solutions to enhance maritime operations worldwide.”
