ABB's liquid cooled drives and PLCs have been included in VARD ELECTRO'S application specific propulsion and thruster power solutions for offshore supply vessels. The electric motor propulsion technology designed by VARD ELECTRO is used on a series of six platform supply vessels (PSVs) - the first two of which are currently being built in Japan. Twenty years ago, in response to growing global competition and demands for ever more sophisticated propulsion performance, the shipbuilding group VARD decided to bring the systems integration function in-house. VARD established a fully owned daughter company, VARD ELECTRO, specialising in system integration and development and providing tailor-made marine electronics solutions for offshore specialised vessels worldwide.
