Norway is set to construct up to 28 standardised vessels, developed through a close partnership between the defence sector and the Norwegian maritime industry. This initiative will generate economic activity, safeguard jobs, and drive growth across the country, while also strengthening the foundation for sustainable, export-oriented technology. KONGSBERG’s Vanguard system represents one of the next-generation maritime solutions developed to meet these future needs. With its modular design, Vanguard enables rapid reconfiguration, allowing vessels to switch equipment within hours to support a wide range of missions, from surveillance to operations with autonomous systems. By integrating commercial ship design principles with versatile mission-specific capabilities, Vanguard delivers cost-effective, multi-role vessels tailored to meet the evolving demands of modern maritime operations. 🔗 Click here to read more about Vanguard – s system of systems: https://brnw.ch/21wWhew #Vanguard #StandardisedVessels #Technology

  We’re now delivering an advanced 4.7 MWh battery system to power the first of two RoPax ferries for a major Northern European operator. The second system will be delivered in November. Both systems are built at our new, modern facility in Stockholm, designed to efficiently develop and produce battery solutions for vessels of all sizes.  Thanks to the high cycle durability, the Echandia system is often significantly smaller than competing battery systems. The result is a much smaller footprint, which is especially valuable for retrofit projects where space is critical. With electricity covering up to 80% of the energy use per crossing, these vessels are an important step towards more sustainable ferry operations. Our battery systems are built for a long lifetime, high safety, efficient use of space and designed to run for at least 10 years in continuous operation.  Curious about how Echandia can support your journey to cleaner and more efficient propulsion? Let’s talk.

Proudly introducing the first film in our new Ormen Lange series, where we take you behind the scenes of our journey with Shell and Subsea7 to bring to life the groundbreaking subsea compression system. The Ormen Lange subsea compression system sits at a water depth of 900 m off the coast of Norway and is operated 120 km from shore—a world record, redefining the limits of what’s possible. It is powered by low-carbon electricity and features a 32-MW compression system designed to unlock a significant increase in recovery. The additional gas produced will boost energy supply for homes and businesses across Europe, contributing to energy security. The future we imagined is already here, and we are proud to have helped make it a reality.​ 🎥 Learn more about how we delivered this world-first technology by watching the film below and reading here: https://lnkd.in/ehbajecN #SubseaFrontiers

🚢 Remote Innovation in Action: Gravity Survey for Shell at Ormen Lange 🌍 Meet Johnny Stiansen, Project Portfolio Manager at Reach Subsea. Johnny supports operations across Go Electra, Viking Reach, and Havila Subsea, and is currently stepping in as Project Manager for the gravity measurement campaign at the Ormen Lange field—executed with our uncrewed surface vessel (USV), Reach Remote 1. 📐 Project Scope The team is conducting high-accuracy gravity measurements to detect subsurface mass changes—essential for understanding geological shifts. This is carried out using our leading gWatch technology, designed for precision and reliability. With depths ranging from 500 to 1100 metres and active fishing activity in the area, the site presents unique operational challenges. 🛰️ Reach Remote 1 Is On It Following the recently successful pilot, Reach Remote is in operation and now performing this campaign. A familiar scope done in a new way—remotely. The uncrewed setup introduces fresh challenges, requiring seamless coordination between geographically distributed remote operation centres. #ReachRemote #SubseaInnovation #OrmenLange #UncrewedSurfaceVessel #USV #gWatch #TeamReach #RemoteOperations #Shell
