What Kongsberg Maritime does

Norwegian maker of navigation, automation and propulsion systems for ships, spun off from Kongsberg Gruppen in 2026.

Sells equipment on new ship orders, which depend on shipyard order books, then earns steadier income from service, upgrades and spare parts on vessels already fitted with its systems. Its systems are chosen early in a ship's design, so shipyards and owners tend to stay with it.

In one line: No direct US equivalent; a marine-electronics specialist.
