Vard Electro

Successful upgrade completed onboard Skandi Hercules for DOF. 🚢 Vard Electro has successfully completed a switchboard upgrade onboard the AHTS vessel Skandi Hercules during a planned docking at ST Engineering’s shipyard in Singapore, ensuring minimal impact on the vessel’s operational schedule. The project included installation of: ▪️ A new SeaQ Switchboard. ▪️ Upgrades to the vessel’s ROV switchboard to support a new Launch and Recovery System. ▪️ A maintenance upgrade of the SeaQ Integrated Automation System. ▪️ Modifications to the existing electrical infrastructure to ensure compatibility and reliable operation. Together, these upgrades improve reliability, support new operational capabilities, and help ensure stable performance across critical onboard systems. The project also reflects strong collaboration across Vard Electro’s global organization, with engineering support from Norway and Romania, production at our switchboard facility in Romania, and on-site execution in Singapore. As part of Fincantieri, one of the world’s largest shipbuilding groups, Vard Electro delivers lifecycle services worldwide, combining global reach with specialized maritime expertise to support customers wherever they operate.   We keep your vessel moving.

We are proud to share that our apprentice Sergiusz, has successfully completed his trade exam in the electrical panel builder discipline, achieving excellent results! 👏 Sergiusz began his apprenticeship at Vard Electro in 2022 as part of the TAF program and has since then developed strong technical and practical skills during his time in the company. A TAF apprenticeship pathway combines vocational training in a technical profession with general academic studies, allowing participants to earn both a trade certificate and a high school diploma over a four-year period. As part of the exam, he built and tested an Energy Storage System Control Cabinet, demonstrating both technical skills and dedication. 💬 “The trade exam was both challenging and rewarding. I felt a bit nervous at the beginning, but once I got started, everything fell into place and I was able to complete all the tasks as planned,” says Sergiusz. Looking back on his apprenticeship, Sergiusz highlights the strong follow-up and support provided by Vard Electro, including structured training, regular follow-ups, and required courses such as safety and first aid. Looking ahead, new academic challenges awaits as he prepares to start studies in Computer Engineering in Bergen. 🧑🎓 #VardElectro #TAF FINCANTIERI #maritime #apprentice

Vard Electro has successfully completed an upgrade of an obsolete automation system to the SeaQ Integrated Automation System onboard the Subsea Equipment Support Vessel (SESV) Aker Wayfarer, operated by AKOFS Offshore. The work was carried out during a scheduled docking at Renave Shipyard in Brazil. The 157-meter SESV is designed for deepwater operations, supporting Petrobras offshore Brazil. The vessel carries out complex subsea activities such as commissioning and subsea template installations, where system reliability is critical. 💡Upgrading to the SeaQ Integrated Automation System is a strategic move that delivers improved stability, efficiency, and reduced risk for Aker Wayfarer’s critical subsea operations. 💡By completing the upgrade during the scheduled docking window, Vard Electro minimized disruption and ensured reliable performance for the vessel for years to come. With a local presence in Brazil, Vard Electro worked closely with the customer throughout the process – ensuring efficient execution, clear communication, and on-site support when it mattered most. Vard Electro is a globally trusted partner delivering lifecycle services where and when they are needed. We keep your vessel moving.

Meet Alessandro – an engineering student at Vard Electro 👋 Originally from Northern Italy, Alessandro Salvestro joined us through a three-month Erasmus internship from the Università degli Studi di Trieste and quickly became part of the team. During his time here, Alessandro worked closely with our SeaQ Power team. His main task was to develop a tool that estimates fuel consumption for advanced ships using real navigation data. It was both challenging and rewarding, and the project brought together engineering theory, programming, and practical maritime insight. 💬 “I believe having interns like Alessandro is a great learning experience for both sides, and shows how well the collaboration between industry and university works", says Martin Skaar Vadset Outside of work, he has been exploring Ålesund and the surrounding fjords and mountains – making the most of everything the region has to offer 🏔️ Read the full story 👉 https://lnkd.in/eCAjhkZS #VardElectro #PeoplePoweringPossibilities #SeaQ #Maritime

Engineered for flexibility. With flexibility built into the system architecture, SeaQ Bridge makes systems work smarter through seamless system integration. SeaQ Bridge unifies all key systems into one integrated bridge environment, giving operators consistent access from every operator station. The result is a clear, intuitive working environment designed to support safe and efficient decision-making, even when conditions are challenging.

Where SeaQ Bridge started and where it stands today 🚢 In 2019, Topaz Tiamat and Topaz Tangaroa became the first offshore vessels equipped with SeaQ Bridge. ▪️ Offshore requirements were increasing. ▪️ More systems were being installed onboard. ▪️ Expectations for performance and control were rising. ▪️ On the bridge workstations were filling up. SeaQ Bridge was our response. Built on strong system integrator competence, it introduced a more structured bridge environment. Bringing key systems together and reducing physical hardware at the consoles. Seven years and more than sixty integrated bridge deliveries later, SeaQ Bridge has evolved into a modular architecture covering the full bridge environment. All key systems are unified within one structured framework, enabling critical information to be accessed from any screen and extended to additional operator stations, including the Engine Control Room, and scientific workspaces. Systems made smarter. Follow the link to learn more about SeaQ Bridge 👉 https://lnkd.in/eg6Njv5n #SeaQ #VardElectro FINCANTIERI #offshore #integratedbridge
