Minister of Defence Bjørn Arild Gram and Minister of Finance Trygve Slagsvold Vedum were impressed with what they learned during their visit at Vard Langsten in Tomrefjord today. 👏 The ministers wanted to visit the shipyard to discuss the new long-term plan for the defense sector. The long-term plan includes, among other things, strengthening the navy with a minimum of five new frigates and up to 10 larger and 18 smaller standardized vessels. - It's very nice to be back at Vard Langsten and on board KV Jan Mayen. I was last here during the naming ceremony in 2022, Minister of Defence Bjørn Arild Gram said during the visit. - We are now embarking on a significant maritime initiative, and through its deliveries to the Norwegian Navy over several years, VARD has proven that they can deliver quality. They are now positioning themselves well to continue doing so in the future, said Gram. - VARD is known for delivering on time, with the right quality, and at agreed cost. Furthermore, we have good capacity and a burning desire to continue delivering to the Norwegian Navy. VARD is the only shipyard that can offer Norway frigates from an ongoing program with our closest ally, built in Norway. VARD will also be able to collaborate with those who wish to cooperate with us on standard vessels, and we will contribute our expertise to a major Norwegian effort, says Ronny Opsjøn Langset, Yard Director at Vard Langsten. 👉 Read more about the visit on our website: https://lnkd.in/d58zgDWv #shipbuilding #security #integratedvaluechain

Yesterday, Danske Bank organized the charity run #AkslaRundt to raise funds for the Department of Mental Health Care for Children and Young People in the county Møre og Romsdal. A total of 18 employees from VARD laced up their running shoes and participated. Those who were unable to participate in the run still had the opportunity to support the cause. Siri Haugen from the ICT department at Vard Group set up a fundraising campaign. Siri admits she isn’t a fan of running and doesn’t have much training, but her passion for the cause drove her to take part. She promised to "gog" (a combination of walking and jogging) the almost 9 km route if she managed to raise NOK 5,000. With NOK 5,550 collected, she joined the race.   We are proud of our employees, who together have raised nearly NOK 15,000 for the Department of Mental Health Care for Children and Young People in Møre og Romsdal. 👏   See a glimpse from Siri`s run below. 🏃♀️ #oneteam
