Andreas Jagtøyen, SVP Digital Ocean, Kongsberg Digital, 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.”
