INDUSTRY ROUND-UP
€17.5 Million Contract For Coastal Patrol Vessel
It’s a homegrown win for ISKRA Shipyard as the yard is selected to build a €17.5 million Coastal Patrol Vessel (CPV) for the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Croatia.
ISKRA faced strong international competition for the public tender. The win recognises ISKRA’s recent successful history in delivering complex, high-standard vessels for public institutions and maritime security.
The vessel is designed by Metal Shark Boats Croatia, a long-standing partner of ISKRA with the two companies working together to deliver SAR and emergency medical vessels.
The aluminium hulled 37.4m CPV will have a max speed of 30kts with a range of 1,200 NM at 25 kts. She will be capable of up to 5 days at sea without intervention.
Designed for border protection, maritime surveillance, search and rescue operations, and deployment within the FRONTEX framework, the vessel will significantly strengthen Croatia’s maritime security capabilities.
Construction starts immediately with delivery scheduled within 28 months.
It’s a Digital Ocean Out There
Kongsberg Maritime has taken a significant step forward in its digital transformation with the unveiling of a harmonised Digital Solutions portfolio and the launch of KM Performance.
The consolidation of Kongsberg Maritime’s legacy soſtware offerings into a single, integrated portfolio is a major shiſt in how the company supports modern fleet operations. Systems such as K-IMS, Vessel Insight, K-Fleet and Coach have been brought together under Digital Ocean, the company’s digital office, creating one coherent ecosystem built on a common data foundation and architecture.
The harmonised approach is designed to offer operators greater transparency, improved data quality, and a more consistent user experience across onboard, onshore, and cloud-based tools.
The newly launched KM Performance is the first solution area to be launched from the unified portfolio and provides comprehensive support across the full voyage cycle, helping customers in the marine transportation segment with pre-planning and during-voyage execution to post-voyage reporting and regulatory compliance.
By combining high-integrity sensor data with validated manual inputs, KM Performance gives operators a trusted operational picture and a clearer basis for critical decision-making.
Alexandra Koefoed, Executive Vice President, Digital and Emerging, Kongsberg Maritime, said, “Our vision for our digital portfolio is simple, focused, and built around creating real value for our customers. Our mission is to support safer, smarter and more sustainable operations at sea. That’s the anchor point for everything we do. We’re here to be a trusted digitalisation partner - not just delivering technology, but guiding customers through their digital journey with solutions that actually make a difference, day-to-day.”
Anders Bryhni, Product Line Manager Performance and Fleet Management, Kongsberg Maritime, added, “Bringing our legacy products into one harmonised digital offering allows us to innovate faster and deliver greater value to our customers. KM Performance is just the beginning and it’s a clear demonstration of how deep integration, trusted data and modern architecture create meaningful operational impact across the entire digital voyage.”
