Vard Marine designs Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels tailored for safe and effective operations in the world's harshest marine environments, including the Arctic, Middle East, and Alaska. These vessels feature flexible deck designs for heavy equipment, powerful propulsion for towing, and excellent seakeeping capabilities in rough waters.

Vard Marine takes a customized design approach, focusing on clients' unique needs, budget, and regulatory requirements. Their AHTS vessels, commonly used in the offshore oil industry, incorporate hybrid technologies for fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. They work closely with Class Societies and regulatory bodies to ensure smooth, timely project completion. Vard Marine offers continued support from construction to sea trials to ensure optimal vessel performance.

Vard Marine designs offshore subsea construction vessels (OSCVs) for demanding underwater operations, particularly in hostile environments like the Arctic. These vessels support tasks such as remotely operated vehicle (ROV) operations, diving, well intervention, and crew accommodations. Vard’s expertise includes designing for ice-infested waters, making them ideal for offshore oil and gas projects.

Their OSCVs are tailored to balance space, weight, workflow, and cargo for efficient offshore construction. Vard Marine’s collaborative design process ensures equipment integration and optimal safety. This consultative approach with clients and suppliers results in stable, flexible vessels suited to complex missions.

Vard Marine's compact semi-submersible (CSS) designs combine the stable motions of a semi-submersible with a smaller, cost-effective platform that rivals much larger vessels. These CSS vessels are designed for operability, flexibility, and cost efficiency, and can be built at shipyards worldwide. With positive feedback and repeat orders from clients, Vard Marine's innovative CSS design has been highly successful.

Their designs feature full-length struts for stability and cost-effectiveness, while offering generous accommodations without sacrificing cargo capacity. Vard Marine works closely with clients to customize each design based on mission requirements, sea conditions, and operational needs. The platform's flexibility allows for tailored configurations, dynamic positioning options, and modifications over time.

By treating clients as partners, Vard Marine ensures efficient delivery, lower costs, and long-term support for future modifications or reclassification.

Vard Marine’s platform supply vessels (PSVs), known as “the trucks of the sea,” are designed for transporting cargo to and from offshore oil fields. These vessels offer maximum cargo capacity, superior operational performance, and ensure crew safety and comfort.

In response to changes in the offshore oil and gas industry, Vard Marine integrates advanced technologies, including liquid natural gas (LNG)/diesel hybrid propulsion systems, developed with Vard Electro, to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Their customized design approach, in collaboration with clients, shipyards, and suppliers, ensures practical, cost-effective solutions.

Beyond design, Vard Marine offers ongoing support throughout construction, sea trials, and regulatory processes to ensure vessel performance and longevity.

Vard Marine is a leader in ferry design across North America, offering vessels that range from small harbor ferries to large, 470-vehicle ferries capable of transporting tractor-trailers. The company is at the forefront of environmental innovation, pioneering hybrid propulsion systems, battery technology, and dual-fuel designs for ice-infested waters. They emphasize reducing environmental impact through noise reduction and sustainable fuel options.

Vard Marine also focuses on passenger experience, offering customized interiors with amenities like dining facilities and ensuring accessibility for all passengers. Their designs prioritize efficient hull forms, low noise and vibration for comfort, rapid loading/unloading, and meeting or exceeding safety standards.

The company’s collaborative approach involves working with ferry operators and builders, providing tailored designs based on sea conditions, docking facilities, and vehicle/passenger needs. Vard Marine also conducts feasibility studies, cost/benefit analyses, and consultations with shipyards to ensure cost-effective solutions. They also handle risk analyses and safety workshops to ensure ferry safety when transporting hazardous goods.

Clients include British Columbia Ferry Corporation, Seaspan Ferries, Alaska Marine Highway Systems, and others.

The VARD 9 511 7.6k LNG bunker vessel is a double sided, dual azimuth propelled bunker vessel for Liquefied Natural Gas that will operate in North America.

It is designed for easy and safe maneuvering for operations in confined areas near receiving vessels as it will be fitted with dual azimuthing thrusters and two bow thrusters. An optional DP system can be provided to allow automatic stationkeeping.

It will operate primarily on gas and will be dual-fuel electric with a back-up battery system setup to act as a spinning reserve, providing an additional level of redundancy and confidence. The cargo area will have single bottom and double side structure with independent cargo tanks.

As offshore wind farms are established further from shore, Vard Marine's Service Operations Vessels (SOVs) are replacing smaller Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs) for logistical and crew transfer tasks. These SOVs, designed with the latest technology and innovation, meet the growing demands of offshore wind, tidal, and wave power industries. Vard Marine offers tailored solutions for North American and global markets, focusing on efficiency, safety, and comfort without compromising operability.

Vard Marine's SOVs are designed for the entire offshore renewables value chain, with a particular focus on windfarm support. Their vessels incorporate liquid natural gas (LNG)/diesel hybrid propulsion systems, reducing environmental impact while ensuring high performance and low operating costs. Vard Marine works closely with clients, shipyards, and regulatory bodies to create practical, fit-for-purpose solutions.

The company also provides continued support after design completion, offering construction guidance, sea trials, and electrical integration via Vard Electro. Their commitment to long-term client collaboration ensures efficient vessel performance and regulatory compliance throughout the vessel's lifecycle.
