The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Kongsberg Maritime no pricing published on website, requires direct vendor contact; NAPA Fleet Intelligence model-derived performance from AIS and noon reports is an estimate, so it supports fleet screening and dispute evidence better than fine-grained optimisation of a single ship.
  • They diverge on capability: Kongsberg Maritime covers ECDIS navigation, NAPA Fleet Intelligence covers NAPA Performance Model.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Kongsberg Maritime

  • No pricing published on website, requires direct vendor contact
  • Quote-based pricing model, no transparent pricing tiers
  • 24/7 global support across 20 countries increases operational costs
  • Specialized maritime systems may require custom integrations

NAPA Fleet Intelligence

  • Model-derived performance from AIS and noon reports is an estimate, so it supports fleet screening and dispute evidence better than fine-grained optimisation of a single ship.
  • Pricing is per vessel and unpublished, and modular scoping means the quote you compare against a competitor may not cover the same functions.
  • Building the vessel-specific performance model requires hull form and design data that owners of older or second-hand tonnage often do not have, which turns onboarding into a data hunt.
  • It is a monitoring and advisory layer, not a system of record; you still run a separate planned maintenance system, a chartering system and a crewing system.
  • NAPA is strongest in the design and stability world, and its operational reference base, while real, is smaller than the pure voyage-optimisation specialists, so integration breadth with commercial shipping software is narrower.

NAPA Fleet Intelligence: Do we need onboard sensors?

No. NAPA can produce performance analysis from AIS and noon reports using its hydrodynamic model, though instrumented data improves accuracy.

Kongsberg Maritime: Does Kongsberg Maritime offer support contracts?

Yes. Kongsberg Maritime provides 24/7 global customer support across 20 countries with onsite, remote, and digital support options. Support is included as part of lifecycle services from newbuild through decommissioning, but specific support contract terms and costs are not published and must be negotiated directly.
