In December, Khulna Shipyard Ltd. successfully launched the first of three Bangladesh Navy Landing Craft Tanks (LCT). Based on the VARD 7 507 Landing Craft design, these vessels will operate in the Bay of Bengal, performing military and humanitarian missions along the coast from Chattogram to St. Martin’s Island and Mongla. VARD has provided KSY with the Class design for these high-performance vessels and supported the shipyard during procurement and construction.

Simon Witt, Naval Architecture Manager, attended ASMAR’s Talcahuano Shipyard in Chile in mid-December to see progress on the first ship of the Vard Marine–designed Escotillón IV project. The first ship is nearing structural completion, and with its launch in 2026, it was an excellent time to see ASMAR’s progress. The Escotillón IV project, and the recently delivered PC5 icebreaker Almirante Viel, are the latest in a long series of successful collaborations between ASMAR and Vard Marine Inc.

Vard Marine Inc. was awarded the contract to design an Amphibious and Military Transport Vessel for the Chilean Navy by ASMAR in 2020. These multi-role vessels, designated the Vard 7 411, will be capable of operating throughout the Pacific and Southern Ocean and have been designed to undertake missions such as logistic support, search and rescue, troop and asset deployment, and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations. To accomplish these missions, the 110m vessel incorporates a ro-ro space, well dock, landing craft, and aviation facilities as well as berthing spaces for embarked personnel.

Vard Marine Inc. congratulates ASMAR Talcahuano Shipyard on their excellent progress to date and eagerly anticipates the vessel’s upcoming launch.

We were at the 2025 Workshop on the Relationship between Ship Energy Efficiency (EE) and Underwater Radiated Noise (URN) from November 6th to 7th at the International Maritime Organization's Headquarters in London, UK and took part in a poster session focused on our approach to URN compliant ship design.

It was great to see continued momentum from the Vard Marine Report developed for Transport Canada presented in 2023, which again served as a central reference—especially as American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) presented their Technology Mastersheet based on our original classification table. A healthy debate followed, allowing us to reaffirm that the report is a conversation starter meant to evolve with industry input, and we appreciated the strong support from industry stakeholders.

Mete Sireli's poster session on URN-compliant ship design sparked excellent discussions with stakeholders as the workshop, overall, strengthened key relationships and highlighted our design capabilities.

Congratulations to Angelique Davis, P.Eng. for being one of Marine Log’s Top Women in Maritime for 2025!

Meet Angelique, a Senior Naval Architect, Professional Engineer, and a driving force behind technical excellence and inclusive leadership at Vard Marine Inc.

With a degree in Ocean and Naval Architectural Engineering from Memorial University of Newfoundland and over a decade as a licensed P.Eng. with Professional Engineers Ontario, Angelique has led critical design and analysis on ferries, icebreakers, offshore patrol vessels, and more. Her contributions have consistently delivered safe, efficient, and regulation-compliant vessels—on time and on budget.

In her role as Quality Assurance Manager, she leads continuous improvement aligned with ISO 9001:2015 and engineering best practices. A standout example of her leadership: identifying barriers to post-project feedback and implementing a streamlined solution that boosted engagement and learning across the company.

But Angelique’s leadership goes far beyond process. She’s a mentor, communicator, and inclusive leader who creates space for others to grow. She spearheaded Vard Marine’s Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity (EDI) initiative, forming a cross-functional committee that drove real change—from awareness campaigns to global alignment with sister companies.

Her influence extends industry-wide through her volunteer work with RINA and SNAME, panel moderation, volunteer coordination, and a long-standing commitment to supporting young professionals in maritime engineering.

Public recognition includes being named one of PEO’s 25 Outstanding Female Engineers and being featured in RINA’s centenary publication, Women in the Institution 1919–2019.

Angelique leads with wisdom, empathy, and impact—and we’re proud to have her on our team.
