Naval Defence Services

Westcon Yards is a strategic partner to the Norwegian Armed Forces, with extensive experience in the maintenance, upgrade and further development of advanced naval vessels. Through our work, we contribute directly to operational readiness, safety and availability along the Norwegian coastline.

Maintenance of Critical Capabilities

Today, Westcon Yards is responsible for maintaining a significant part of the Armed Forces’ fleet, including both coast guard vessels and frigates. Our work ranges from scheduled maintenance to complex upgrades and technical modifications.

This experience provides us with:

• In-depth operational understanding of vessel performance and requirements
• Efficient and predictable delivery capabilities
• High quality across all stages

We work closely with the Armed Forces to ensure that vessels are mission-ready at all times.

Standardised Vessels for the Future

Westcon Yards has a clear ambition to contribute to the development of standardised vessel solutions for the Armed Forces of the future. Standardisation increases availability, reduces complexity, and enables more cost-efficient operations over time.

With our experience in newbuilds and conversions, we have the expertise required to develop robust and flexible solutions tailored to future demands.

A Strong National Presence

With four shipyards strategically located along the Norwegian coastline, Westcon Yards offers unique reach and capacity. This provides:

• Short response times and high availability
• Strong local presence combined with consolidated capacity
• Flexibility to handle both planned and urgent requirements

Our geographical footprint is a key strength in supporting national preparedness.

Security at Every Level

Working with the defence sector requires the highest standards of security, quality and control. Westcon Yards has established systems and procedures to ensure physical security, information security and operational control.

We continuously work to ensure:

• Compliance with applicable requirements and standards
• Safe and secure working processes
• Protection of sensitive information

This is fundamental to the trust we have built as a supplier to the Armed Forces.
