Our natural working environment is the ocean.
Kongsberg Maritime is the world's largest advanced marine technology company. We provide innovative and reliable solutions for all sectors of the global maritime industry. The Group is headquartered in Kongsberg, Norway and has production, sales and service offices in 34 countries around the world.
Kongsberg Maritime technology team is a Product House responsible for innovation, development and improvement of our world class systems and solutions. We develop our own products and are involved in their full commercial cycle.
We navigate the oceans, protecting human life and environment. We ensure uninterrupted global trade, energy security, sustainability and economic well-being of the world’s nations.
One third of the Earth's surface is land, the rest is Kongsberg Maritime!
The history of KONGSBERG dates back to 1814, and for obvious reasons we cannot boast that we were already coding back then. Software engineering appeared in our product portfolio in the early 1970s when we introduced the first computerized navigation and marine automation systems. Today, we are the undisputed leader in pioneering solutions for the maritime industry and provide "mission critical" solutions to customers around the world. The owners of 30,000 ships and offshore installations (more than half of the world's registered fleet) have entrusted us with a mission to ensure safety, reliability and efficiency.
Szczecin technology team is an agile group of outstanding experts in software engineering and testing. Together we work in two main domain groups, Bridge Systems and Automation Systems:
Bridge Systems
While others navigate with their finger on the map, we safely steer the world's largest vessels. Yes, ships are the largest moving objects on Earth! Safe navigation is the efficient and coherent cooperation of many components and information sources, such as radars, electronic charts, GPS receivers, gyrocompasses, echosounders, speedlogs, weather and nautical variables etc. With data fusion capabilities, we integrate interrelated and interdependent components into a collective and logical system entity. We develop task-oriented and fully integrated navigation systems. We know that wind and waves always favour high-tech navigators!
Automation Systems
Do you want to develop automation or do you prefer to be automated? Our team definitely belongs to the first group! Digitalization and automation are components that are accelerating the transformation of the maritime industry. Marine automation solutions typically include conventional process control systems, safety systems, ship management systems, power management systems, propulsion control systems, dynamic object positioning and other monitoring or remote/autonomous control products. We integrate our solutions into a universal automation system based on a unified platform that forms the information and operational backbone. Kongsberg automation enables efficient decision making by reducing or completely eliminating operator roles.
Our leading languages are C#, C++ and embedded C. We also have on premises advanced hardware lab that extensively simulates real-world installations of our systems. The only thing we can't replicate in the lab is seasickness
