hoW is your organization changing
the game Within your industry sector?
Vard Marine has been a pioneer in North America for
the introduction of new technologies such as hybrid
drives and dual-fuel propulsion systems and for new
types of vessel design including wind farm support ves-
sels and icebreakers. We have recognized that we also
have to be more than just traditional ship designers,
and may need to help our client with issues ranging
from requirements development to risk assessment
and economic analysis. This requires a skillset broader
than just naval architecture and marine engineering,
and we reflect this in our recruitment and training.
