In late August 2026, the company secured two major contracts for offshore energy operations. One agreement involves supplying integrated equipment for a multi-purpose deepwater installation and construction vessel for Solstad Offshore and SBM Offshore. A second contract involves delivering mooring and deck machinery for a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel in Asia. Following these contract wins, Kongsberg finalized the acquisition of Sonatech, a California-based specialist in underwater acoustics. This acquisition is intended to strengthen Kongsberg’s presence in the United States and its role as a technology provider for the US Navy, specifically enhancing capabilities in maritime domain awareness, mine countermeasures, and the protection of undersea infrastructure. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-02: Kongsberg completes acquisition of underwater acoustics specialist Sonatech Kongsberg has completed the acquisition of California-based Sonatech, strengthening its underwater acoustics capabilities and its position as a technology partner to the US Navy. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kongsberg-completes-acquisition-of-underwater-acoustics-specialist-sonatech ### 2026-08-28: Kongsberg Maritime secures multiple offshore technology contracts Kongsberg Maritime has won contracts to provide integrated technology for a new deepwater construction vessel and an FPSO vessel for offshore developments in Asia. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kongsberg-maritime-secures-multiple-offshore-technology-contracts --- Cite as: Kongsberg Maritime business and technology expansion.
