Since its inception, Vard Marine has established an impressive client base, including shipbuilders, ship owners, ship operators and government agencies. The company offers professional design engineering and shipbuilding technology services to clients throughout North America and internationally. The services provided cover a broad range, including all aspects of ship design and production technology; total equipment and service packages as required to support offshore and domestic shipbuilding activities; transportation, economic and technical feasibility studies; research and analytical investigations; supervision of model tests and full scale trials. Vard Marine specializes in the development of advanced technologies and its application to vessel designs for both commercial and military vessels. The wide range of vessel designs offered include offshore supply, anchor handling, offshore construction, offshore and coastal patrol vessels, passenger vessels and ferries, icebreakers, double hull tankers, research vessels, tugs, and floating plant barges, to name a few.

The OSJ Conference, Americas, scheduled for 11-12 June 2024 in Houston, will focus on increased demand for offshore support vessels (OSVs) driven by the oil, gas, and offshore wind sectors, despite a lack of newbuild cycles and a shrinking fleet.
