Welcome to the future of coastal patrol vessels

News

The Portuguese Navy has developed a new disruptive concept of coastal patrol ships, a one-of-a-kind design, challenging the multiple threats that our borders face, that will change the landscape on the capacity of patrolling our waters, and has signed a contract with Vera Navis | Ship Design (VNSD) for the basic and detailed design development of this new series of ships.

The Portuguese Navy and VNSD are engaged in the joint development of this solution, working side-by-side to develop such an innovative special ship. VNSD is responsible for the consolidation of concept design, basic and detailed design package, namely naval architecture, marine engineering, procurement, and production engineering, being the Portuguese Navy responsible for the design related with sensors, weapons, communications, command & control, and its integration into VNSD design development.

The design team also includes the participation of MAURIC and Stadt Towing Tank As, strengthening the design solution.

Although most of the ship details will not be disclosed to the public, here follows an image on the exterior of the ship.

VNSD Launches Innovative Collaborator Formation Scheme

News

We’re thrilled to unveil an exciting new initiative designed to foster growth and development among our collaborators.

Introducing our latest venture: a cutting-edge formation scheme centered around attending specific UCI’s (Unidades Curriculares Isoladas) at nearby colleges. At VNSD, we’re dedicated to nurturing talent and cultivating a culture of continuous learning, and this program embodies our commitment to empowering our team members.

This innovative scheme is built on several core principles. Firstly, it promotes internal knowledge transfer, allowing our collaborators to share and exchange valuable insights gained from attending UCI’s, enriching our collective knowledge base and strengthening collaboration within our organization.

Moreover, participation in this scheme enables our team members to explore emerging knowledge areas, innovative tools, and advanced workflows that align with VNSD’s growth objectives. By investing in the intellectual enrichment of our collaborators, we ensure that we remain at the forefront of industry trends and maintain our competitive edge.

Recognizing the importance of work-life balance, this program offers collaborators the flexibility to take a break from their routine responsibilities to focus on personal development and continuous learning. This not only enhances overall well-being but also ensures that our team members are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary for their professional growth and success.

Furthermore, collaborative learning in small groups attending the same courses fosters a supportive environment where individuals can seamlessly pick up where others left off, ensuring learning remains uninterrupted and impactful.

Our proximity to IST (Instituto Superior Técnico) simplifies access to these valuable learning opportunities, making participation convenient and hassle-free for our team members.

We’re incredibly excited about the potential of this new formation scheme and the positive impact it will have on our collaborators and the continued success of VNSD.
