Summer edition 2/6: Ensuring mission success - An innovative system for territorial waters
The Vanguard Naval Vessel System couples KONGSBERG’s knowledge, technology and systems together with the competence coming from the Norwegian Maritime and Offshore Industry.
To offer extremely capable yet affordable military vessels, Vanguard is based on civilian and commercial ship design, combined with flexible military mission packs. This approach represents significant cost savings as compared to traditional military bespoke solutions.
An industrial adventure spanning 200 years
From 1814 to the present day, KONGSBERG has evolved from being a local weapons manufacturer to becoming a global collaborator, producer, and innovator in security and technology. It has simply been an industrial adventure, ant it’s far from over!
Join us on a journey back in time and take a look at some of the highlights so far.
Fifty Year Young: The Iconic UT-Design Vessels
The iconic UT-Design vessels trace their origins back to the mid-1960s and the Norwegian fishing industry, and early 1970s for the international offshore industry. Years of expertise in operating ships in the harsh conditions of the North Sea paved the way for what would become the benchmark design for the offshore industry.
From the early 1970s, ship designs were developed for the offshore, fisheries and merchant markets, but since then the portfolio has expanded significantly.

Turned On the Light. But Is It Too Late?
The Oslo Fjord is fighting an invisible battle and is on the verge of collapsing before us. Groundbreaking technology enables us to study life and death in the ocean.
The absence of fish is a terrifying sign that the Oslo Fjord is struggling. The pride of the capital was one of the country's most fish-rich fjords, and now the coastal cod population has shrunk by 80-90 percent due to overfishing and poor rearing conditions. But it's not just the cod that has disappeared; 92 percent of the lobsters have mysteriously gone, eelgrass is threatened, and the fjord is suffocating. We just don't see it.
Definately looks extremely cool :)
