The VARD 7 313 is a multi-purpose logistics vessel designed as a flexible
platform to aid in force projection, maritime special operations, EEZ patrol, and
humanitarian assistance. The vessel has significant capabilities for off-loading
heavy equipment, carrying cargo, transporting troops, launching boats,
supporting aviation and hospital configuration.
An optional internal ro-ro deck can accommodate a variety of including tanks,
trucks, and ISO containers which can be efficiently loaded from a pier via
ramps on the stern and vessel’s side. Two full-breadth cargo holds located
beneath the ro-ro deck provide extra storage capacity, while protected areas
forward house expansive troop accommodations providing safe and
comfortable passage for embarked personnel.
Large open deck areas on each side of the vessel provide secure stowage for
two 15 m landing craft and two 11 m RHIBs. Aviation facilities include a flight
deck capable of landing two medium lift helicopters and a hangar
accommodating four. Expansive medical facilities are readily accessible from
the flight and boat decks and the entire vessel can be configured to act
primarily as a hospital ship. Substantial internal area is dedicated to
configurable offices and operations areas to support alternative missions.
