Suddenly, the eagle dives down, breaks the water surface in a split second and grabs a fish hiding underneath the dark water. This depiction is used to best try describing how Havyard`s designers work. They must always have a total overview, be able to see the full picture, before diving down and working at details on a micro level. The next second they must be able to break out of this sphere and look at the big picture from above once again. This is only possible when their offices are in the midst of the maritime cluster – where shipping is pretty much embodied in their genes. In addition, Havyard Design & Engineering works with all engineering and design fields within ship design. “We are in the middle of Fosnavåg. We are very close to the real world and can`t fool anyone. Most people around us have the know-how regarding ships and you will soon be found out if your solution doesn`t work in real life,” says Kristian, adding also that there have been many innovations from the maritime cluster of Sunnmøre, Norway. One can pretty much guarantee that there will be even more innovations from this corner of the world in the future.

Supply Service is an innovative company with roots in fishing, first entering the offshore industry when ordering the first Havyard 832 PSV design, Eldborg, delivered in 2009. In a short space of time the company has shown with this ship that they are an offshore company to be reckoned with and they have also received good feedback from oil companies and other contractors using their services. Supply Service is now using their good experiences with Havyard 832 and has given Havyard Design â&#x201E;˘ useful input in the process with developing Havyard 832 L.

Croatia. The Havyard 832 design is a large mediumsized PSV that has been contracted by many shipowners in various editions. This design has been a great success and has become a brand name in this segment. The success of the Havyard 832 design is important for Havyard Group as many of these types of ships have been contracted recently and are still in demand in the market. The good references made through satisfied customers operating Havyard 832, gives Havyard a marketing advantage in the competition for new orders in the PSV market. The flexibility of this design enables us to tailor it to individual customer needs and our knowledge of this market also enables us to be good advisors about what characteristics customers should choose for their ships. Our experience with the development of the Havyard 832 and the feedback from users of the ships in operation, has also given us valuable input to the development of our other PSV designs. We have many exciting projects at present and are optimistic about the prospects of delivering designs to several Havyard 832s and other PSV designs in the near future.
