VARD Pushes Boundaries for Specialized Ships

As offshore vessels and their systems have become more sophisticated, VARD has systematically acquired and developed specialized companies for design, marine electronics, accommodation and other areas,  continuously pushing the boundaries for specialized ships.

The goal behind such steps has been to develop solutions that are tailored to the customers’ needs. In line with VARD’s shipbuilder approach, all the company’s solutions are of high quality, meeting the most stringent industry standards.

Dubbed the SeaQ Flexible Solutions, as all solutions are both scalable and compatible with solutions from other providers, the product range provides  flexibility to choose between individual solutions and integrated solution packages.

Several hundred SeaQ products and solutions are already installed on advanced offshore vessels.

SeaQ Power

SeaQ Power includes a complete set of intelligent power systems producing, distributing and controlling power on board the vessel, while adjusting it to a wide range of power consumers and needs. Vard Electro has a long track record with all elements of a vessel’s power system, making it possible to offer tailor-made solutions, adapted to various types of vessels and in line with the customers’ preferences.

SeaQ Control

SeaQ Control includes a full set of control systems, seamlessly integrated to improve usability and maximize the vessel’s performance at all times. Vard Electro’s extensive experience delivering advanced automation systems and solutions for specialized vessels has been a great asset in this respect. Working closely with the customer, the best components for each assignment are selected, while taking care of the engineering and integration challenges. SeaQ Control solutions can be delivered individually or integrated as part of a larger configuration and ready for use.

SeaQ Bridge

SeaQ Bridge consists of a wide selection of navigation and communication products and solutions, controlled and operated from the vessel’s bridge. Vard Electro works with all established makes, offering its customers the benefits of a single point of contact for the delivery, maintenance, and service of all the company’s products, operating in demanding segments with changing standards and constantly new regulations that meet the latest requirements.

Cabin Concept

SeaQ Cabin is an innovative cabin system developed to fit today’s expectations from crews. The concept focuses on creating silent cabins to ensure high quality living conditions on board. SeaQ cabin solutions also enable shipowners to fit two one-person cabins in the space of a traditional two-person cabin. With this concept VARD has succeeded in standardizing cabin area layout, providing predictable arrangement of accommodation decks and full utilization of available space. In addition, this modular system enables an efficient building process. SeaQ Cabin is developed by Vard Accommodation.

Seaonics is a VARD subsidiary and a high-end provider of integrated equipment and solutions for subsea construction and deck handling operations in the marine and offshore industries. Seaonics focuses on developing and improving handling systems, making handling operations simplified and effective. Development of new products is made in close interaction with clients.
