Can wind assist technology help solve the problem of emissions reduction in the maritime industry? The answer is yes, but successful implementation requires the right type of solution and integration. Done right, wind assisted propulsion systems can offer immediate reductions in fuel consumption and emissions, taking into consideration operational profile. Calculations by our business area Kongsberg Maritime's researchers show that a theoretical Handymax container cargo ship running a route in the North Atlantic from Rotterdam to New York would see a fuel burn reduction of 19.3% annually with the right wind assist propulsion system.

Paralympian Fredrik Solberg is a remarkable para-swimmer who has been making waves in the sport for several years. Known for his lightning-fast reaction times, Fredrik’s performance in the pool is unmatched by many, with his reaction time being beaten by only two professional swimmers without disabilities. At the 2024 Paralympics, Fredrik's hard work and determination paid off as he secured a bronze medal in the 50m freestyle, a testament to his talent and perseverance. KONGSBERG is proud to be a main partner of Summit 2024, Norway's extensive collective effort in summer sports. The aim of Summit 2024 has been to elevate ten selected sports disciplines toward medals and success at the Summer Olympics and Paralympics in Paris 2024.

Research on Olympic rowing boats with KONGSBERG-technology. Last year, Norwegian Olympian Kjetil Borch participated in an exciting collaboration between the Norwegian Olympic Committee and KONGSBERG, one of Summit2024's supporters. Our business area Kongsberg Maritime's hydrodynamics department usually studies how larger ships can glide as efficiently as possible in the water. The team in Ulsteinvik used their expertise in an unusual way, together with the rowing team and the Norwegian Olympic Committee. The research project aimed to make rowing boats go 0.2 per cent faster. Does not sound like much, but the margins are tiny for a top-level rower.
