Controlled by Fincantieri since January 2013, Vard Group is one of the world’s leading companies in the construction of specialized vessels for the offshore market.

The core business of the Norwegian group is the design and production of complex and highly customized Offshore Support Vessels (OSVs), such as Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs), Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessels (AHTSs), and Offshore Subsea Construction Vessels (OSCVs). Alongside these, Vard also builds specialized ships such as LNG-powered ferries, military vessels and coastal patrol ships, fishing vessels, and icebreakers. The company also provides equipment design and supply services, but the true key to its success lies in the high level of customization offered to each client, for every type of vessel.

The well-established and strong relationship with its clients—recognized worldwide—is another key strategic asset and added value of Vard. Not by chance, the company counts among its assets some of the most renowned global leaders, supported by an extensive network of infrastructures, services, and suppliers across all continents.

Three shipyards in Norway, two in Romania, one in Brazil, and one in Vietnam ensure the optimal combination of functionality, capacity, cost control, and market proximity, allowing Vard to meet the needs of a broad and diverse international client portfolio at the highest level.
