Korean company Lab021’s Vessellink service, which is said to provide a vessel-to-cloud data infrastructure, capturing and aggregating data in a cost-effective and secure way, is the latest addition to Kongsberg Digital’s Kognifai Marketplace.
Lab021 is believed to hold a leading position in the Korean market in the field of maritime digitalisation. Kongsberg Digital’s Vessel Insight provides a vessel-to-cloud data infrastructure, capturing and aggregating quality data in a cost-effective and secure way. Lab021’s Vessellink solution will now be an integrated part of Vessel Insight. The Vessellink solution provides powerful and convenient software, marine-specific data and analysis functions required for the shipping industries. A 24-hour intelligent system monitors the safety and efficiency of the fleet and provides, according to Kongsberg, “an optimised alternative to responding to environmental regulations”.
Andreas Jagtøyen, EVP Digital Ocean, Kongsberg Digital, said: “We are happy to announce our new partnership with Lab021. We share common goals in digitalizing maritime industries, and this partnership will provide great value for our customers. Their Vessellink service will be a great value-add to our Vessel Insight ecosystem.”
On the Kognifai Maritime Marketplace, Vessel Insight customers have access to powerful applications that are considered to turn data into value. Ship owners and operators can choose from a variety of solutions fully integrated with Vessel Insight. One of the improved features from this partnership offered to the customers, is the combination of data from the Vessel Insight ecosystem in the Noon Report Vessellink for ship application.
Ship owners and management companies need to be competitive in the current difficult environment as they directly own IT resources such as numerous data, infrastructure, software and IT maintenance teams. Therefore, Kongsberg considers it necessary to secure ship data, operate it reliably in the cloud, utilise quality data-based tools, and apply continuously advanced functions to be cost-competitive and participate in a new carbon-neutral journey.
Lab021 CEO Sang Bong Lee said: “We are very excited and looking forward to providing Vessellink to the Korean and global market as an integrated part of Vessel Insight, and we truly hope that this will be an important milestone in achieving the ambitious mission of both companies.”
