    VARD introducing SeaQ SeaQ Flexible Solutions

    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. VARD goal has been to develop solutions that are tailored to customers’ needs, said in the company's press release. In line with VARD’s shipbuilder approach, all solutions are of high quality, meeting the most stringent industry standards.

    VARD call them SeaQ Flexible Solutions as all solutions are both scalable and compatible with solutions from other providers.

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

    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 our customers’ preferences.

    Bridge and ECR Console
    SeaQ Control includes a full set of control systems, seamlessly integrated to improve usability and maximize the vessel’s performance at all times. Our customers benefit from Vard Electro’s extensive experience delivering advanced automation systems and solutions for specialized vessels. Working closely with the customer, we select the best components for each assignment, 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.

    Navigation Systems | Bridge Alert Management System | Manoeuvring Chairs | Communication Systems | Infotainment
    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 products we deliver. 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 we have 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.
