The deal brings Njord’s technology integration systems into V.Group’s portfolio, adding tools aimed at supporting alternative fuels, emissions compliance and efficiency optimisation for shipowners.

According to V.Group, the acquisition broadens its range of technical and advisory services designed to help operators manage regulatory requirements and reduce fuel consumption and carbon output.

“This acquisition not only marks a pivotal moment for V. as it accelerates our ambition to become the leading fuel-efficiency and decarbonisation platform, but also for the wider industry as we progress towards making decarbonisation a reality for shipowners and operators,” he said.

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
