KONGSBERG Digital has signed a fleet arrangement to provide its vessel-to-cloud infrastructure to more than 100 vessels.
The contract was signed with what Kongsberg Digital said was a “large industrial shipowner in the tanker segment”.
The contract concerns Vessel Insight, a software-as-a-service system that provides vessel-to-cloud data infrastructure. It captures and aggregates quality data in a cost-effective and secure way, according to Kongsberg Digital.
The company said that through Kognifai Marketplace, ship owners have access to a large range of applications and services that can turn their data into business value.
Kongsberg Digital president Hege Skryseth said: “We are very proud to announce that we recently signed a major deal to digitalise a large industrial shipowner in the tanker segment, with a fleet agreement exceeding one hundred vessels. This is a good example of digitalisation as a crucial step on the journey towards greener, safer, and more efficient ship operations, where Kongsberg Digital’s products are paving the way to meet future needs of a sustainable maritime sector”.
The company said one of the main goals of Vessel Insight is to drive sustainability in the shipping industry by providing actionable insight from analysis of operational vessel data. The consistent and standardised way of collecting data through the system enables quality reporting, empowers transparency, and allows for in-depth analysis to optimise vessel and fleet performance, according to the company.
Kongsberg Digital SVP digital ocean Andreas Jagtøyen said: “We are now seeing a shift in the industry to ship owners becoming more eager to digitalise entire fleets, as the utilisation of data holds an important key to a greener maritime industry. This contract is a solid proofing point of how Kongsberg Digital’s technologies, including Vessel Insight, will be an important contributor in making the industry more sustainable”.
