Maritime Firms Partner to Standardise Vessel Data Exchange

DNV and Kongsberg Maritime have agreed to enable standardised exchange of Operational Vessel Data (OVD) between Kongsberg Maritime's digital fleet management solution and DNV's Veracity platform.

The integration is based on DNV's OVD interface standard and API technology, allowing customers to share vessel operational data between the two platforms in a controlled, scalable way. It is intended to support digital assurance services, operational insight, and environmental reporting, while keeping data usage under customer control.

"Standardized and trusted access to operational vessel data is fundamental to accelerating digital assurance and improving decision‑making across the maritime industry," said Mikkel Skou, Executive Director Veracity by DNV at DNV.

"By connecting Kongsberg Maritime with DNV Veracity, we are making it easier for customers like Wisby to turn operational data into trusted reporting and practical insight. This collaboration shows how stronger integration can reduce manual work, improve data quality, and give customers greater confidence in the decisions they make every day," said Anders Bryhni, Senior Vice President Digital Ocean at Kongsberg Maritime.

Jon Rejfeldt, Technical Superintendent at Wisby Tankers AB, said: "Already, the collaboration has helped address several data quality issues and improved the consistency of our reporting. Building on this, the standardized, validated data pipeline between Kongsberg Maritime and DNV will help us reduce duplicate work, improve data consistency, and streamline key processes like voyage reporting and Bunker Delivery Note handling."
