Kongsberg Maritime to be Distributed and Listed on the Stock Exchange

Kongsberg Gruppen proposes that the group's maritime operations be listed separately on the stock exchange, while the defence and technology divisions are merged into a single company.

According to a press release from Kongsberg, Kongsberg Maritime will be spun off and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange in the second quarter of 2026. At the same time, a merger of Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace and Kongsberg Discovery into a new technology and defence-focused KONGSBERG is planned.

“This will enhance the competitiveness of our value-creating operations in a world dominated by security and sustainability,” says Eivind Reiten, Chairman of the Board of Kongsberg Gruppen ASA, in the press release.

At the time of the decision, the group has approximately 15,000 employees and a record order book. Both parts of the business now have the size and financial strength to stand on their own, according to the company.

The spin-off will occur through a straightforward division, where current shareholders will receive one share in the new company MAR for each share in KONGSBERG. The Norwegian state, which is the largest shareholder, is said to have expressed support for the proposal, according to Kongsberg.

The new maritime company will be led by Lisa Edvardsen Haugan, who is currently the head of Kongsberg Maritime. Meanwhile, Eirik Lie, the current head of Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, will become the new CEO of KONGSBERG.
